“Dear PoPville,
I just spotted International Park this summer, but every time I try to walk my dog there I see a sign saying the park is “temporarily closed.” Any idea why it’s closed and when it will open? Or is this not a public park and only opens for events by the surrounding embassies? Something else?” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m trying to renew my registration before it expires at the end of the month and I took my car to the self-service vehicle inspection station over the weekend. The kiosk issued a temporary window sticker but I keep getting this message online: (more…)

Welp, after 3.5 years Covid finally got me. Walloped me pretty good but starting to feel much better now! But hopefully you haven’t noticed here. Anyway, I’ve been quarantined from my family and watching a fair bit of Netflix when I can’t read anymore. So, having just finished Beauty Queen of Jerusalem (on Netflix), I’m ready for another good foreign series. What are some foreign series you’ve enjoyed recently? (we had a fun chat about this back in 2012.) Please let us know what service the show streams on too.
Lots of folks have been asking: “Do you have any news on what happened between 17th and DuPont Circle on P? Police blocked off all entrances to that area with cars and tape”
“why P Street NW, between 17th and 18th is closed? Even giving pedestrians grief, so maybe it’s some kind of security thing?”
ss comments:”It was a hit and run. Bicyclist killed by car around 3am. I live on the block and spoke to a police officer.”
Anyone hear anything? Will update as we learn more.
