“Dear PoPville,
My partner and I are about to begin the process for submitting for her residency in the US! This is an exciting time for us. We’re looking for a certified translator in the DMV who can translate her birth certificate written in Spanish. I’ve seen some quotes in the $200-300 range, which seems a bit exorbitant and beyond the market price. If any in the community know of certified translators who could do this work for less, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!”
“Dear PoPville,
On my way with a colleague Wednesday, November 29, 2023 8:30am, we witnessed two middle school-aged boys carrying a female student, as they attempted to put her into the public garbage bin at the corner of Q St. and Wisconsin Ave. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I want to send my work colleagues a hand-curated gift box from DC-based companies. I want to include things that mail well, like Zeke’s coffee, mumbo sauce, Ivy City Smokehouse salmon jerky. What are some other must-haves that the PoPville universe know about?”

“Dear PoPville,
Are there any known plans to rehab the benches around the fountain at Dupont Circle? Seeing the benches in complete disarray is heartbreaking. The circle has been a part of my entire 30+ years here in DC. I’d rather have benches than a working fountain. Maybe we could have both?”
“Dear PoPville,
I had a run in with this lady back in June on the 1800 block of Columbia Road NW at the entrance of Kalorama Park.
It was at about 10pm and I was taking my dog out. She was walking on the street and kept staring at us. Then she walked across the street and kept staring then started walking toward us. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
When 9th Street was restriped/redone a couple of years ago, near the Convention Center at K/New York Avenue the lanes south shifted, creating a parking area for cars/taxis at L Street by the Marriott Marquis. Previously, there was a taxi stand/waiting area at the corner of K Street, but that was eliminated as it was blocking traffic going south and creating a bottleneck. Then, sometime later a new sign was added, putting the taxi stand back, which to no surprise, again created a bottleneck that was, during rush hour blocks long as two lanes needed to merge to one specifically and only because of the location of the taxi stand. I noticed this week those signs were again eliminated and only the no parking sign (pictured) was present, but that cones from the construction across the street were put in place, blocking a lane, plus taxi cabs are parking where this sign is, illegally.
