Action at the old &pizza space. Before the &pizza’s brief tenure here the space was previously home to Squisito pizza and pasta (also was once planned to be a Pie Five Pizza Co.) and a Buredo before them. So what’s coming now? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Ok, I get it that I have choices where to shop but CVS is kinda the only game in town for pharmacy. Here is what happened to me on Monday.
Went mid morning to the CVS in Takoma Park, my prescription wasn’t ready (ok, forgive me for the rush) but decided to get deodorants.
Called for an attendant, waited for a while until a salesperson came to tell me that someone from the previous shift had taken the key and they couldn’t open the case. Wait, what?
So I went to the CVS in Georgia & Van Buren. Standing in front of the deodorant case … for a longer while until the sales person came back with the SAME story. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Hoping for a holiday miracle with this one. My fiancé’s wedding tuxedo was lost/stolen at Union Station last night (Wednesday.) Our wedding is Friday. He came out of Gate A of Union Station around 7:50pm on Wednesday night, was rolling multiple suitcases. As he was exiting, his blue Proper Cloth garment bag containing his wedding tuxedo fell off the suitcase and on to the floor. Less than two minutes later, (more…)
“Dear POPville,
I have noticed some really unusual activity on my Pepco account and wondering if others are seeing similar/have any suggested course of action? I contacted Pepco after last billing cycle to contest the amount (almost $300!), and they said they would send techs out to read the meter since the bill was based on an estimate. The next day, without warning or scheduling, two reps from Pepco tried to buzz into my building while I was at work, and I never heard from them or Pepco again. I live in a one bedroom, 600sqft apartment and don’t have any unusual/high energy demand (I don’t think), and these are my bills since moving in: (more…)
