As we all know, Wonderland is far from hidden but is most definitely a gem – sometimes dirty, sometimes polished, but let’s be honest, often dirty – and that’s why we love it. A very happy 19th to these good peeps and here’s to many more! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve noticed that most DC residents are not aware that the city will plant trees for free if you request them on the 311 app which is also free. It takes about 5 minutes to request. I’ve marked up some screenshots of the steps on the 311 app to make it easier to know what to do. It’s a simple step in helping our city fight the heat.

“Dear PoPville,
We received an email from Washington Gas that our service is being suspended (disconnected). The “move out request notice”. We called the WGas and it appears as if somebody (they even gave us that person’s name) requested to activate the service at our address. No details on how (call or email). We’re in a four-unit apartment building. Has anything similar happen to anyone else?”
