“Dear PoPville,

I’m a DCPS teacher and a reader of your blog. Was hoping you could help me find the best dollar store in DC. In need of a good one. Any teachers can tell you that not all dollar stores are created equal and I have struggled to find a good one in the city. The best one I’ve found is all the way out in Bowie, which is far.”
