“Dear PoPville,
After furtive glances between us on the train you broke the ice by asking about the design on my hat yesterday (Sunday evening July 23rd). We started chatting and were surprised to find out that we were both from the area. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My husband, our teenage son, and I live on Capitol Hill. On Saturday night, July 22, our 16-year-old was confronted by a gunman, shot at multiple times, and forced to hide under a blanket in the woods for an hour with strangers on Kingman Island.
He’d gone for an evening jog and came upon an armed man standing over someone in a field. The gunman pointed his gun at him and shouted. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I am trying to file a new unemployment claim and the website is a tangle of nonsense. When you go to the does.dcnetworks.org website it says you cannot file for a new claim over the internet (see photo below) and when you call the phone number is says they no longer accept claims over the phone (see phone guidance on the unemployment.dc.gov website below). Has anyone recently found a way around these loopholes, I really don’t want to have to go to the office in Deadwood. Any help would be appreciated.”

From WMATA:
“The future is looking clearer for Metrobus, as Metro and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announce the start of the 45-day minimum warning period for the Clear Lanes program. The goal is to improve bus speeds and reliability. Parked cars and vehicles illegally using dedicated bus lanes and bus stop zones slow buses down and impedes customer safety.
Under the program, cameras mounted on Metrobuses will capture video and photos of vehicles illegally operating, parking, standing, or stopping in dedicated bus lanes and bus zones. All enforcement will be handled by DDOT. Metro will not have any role in ticketing and enforcement. (more…)
