“Dear PoPville,
There have been emergency no parking signs posted on the 1600 block of Kalorama NW for a construction setup area for the past 2 weeks, but no vehicles or equipment has been placed there during that time. There was construction on the sidewalk nearby that area a few weeks ago, but since that initial work, I have not seen any construction activity. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I are doing a home refresh which includes updating our kitchen cabinets, redoing our bathroom, and adding HVAC. After doing some research, it looks like the DRCA’s Postcard Permit process is the way to go. From what I’ve read, it’s a quick process. But does anyone have any recent experience from this and know how quickly they issue a permit? Thanks!”

“Dear PoPville,
My wife Jean and I want to send a big thank you to all of the people on Shepherd Street NW for PorchFest on Saturday April 29. Our 13-month old Jack had a simple febrile seizure, and gave his parents quite a panic. We want to let the community know how grateful we were for your help calling 911 and keeping us calm. And we want to especially thank Dr. Christina Baviskar for stepping in and helping us. Jack is doing great and has made a speedy recovery. (more…)
Ed. Note: If anyone has info on the whereabouts please email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP.
“Dear PoPville,
On Thursday 4/27, at 4:32 AM, two gentlemen borrowed, and did not return, our building’s dumpster. It looks like they were moving a refrigerator up the alleyway between Holmead and 13th street, and trying to get the refrigerator into a vehicle parked on Monroe Street NW. This large, fancy fridge was hard to move and they did not have a handcart. So! they loaded it on our dumpster as a dolly.
We’ve scouted the area looking for a large orange dumpster, but with no success. Perhaps they drove off with the dumpster as well as the refrigerator in either a large pick-up or box truck. We captured some of the activity on our building security camera, and a neighbor who was woken up by the commotion and captured it on his iPhone.
Our bottom line is that we just want the dumpster back. No questions asked, (more…)
Stacee asks: “It’s on a few signs. I put in a ticket to 311 but haven’t heard any update. It’s dangerous for those not able to see exits until the last second. This is the southbound one, there is one that is northbound that is covering all the words.”
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share that recently my outdoor spare key lockbox was opened by force. I found it on the rail outside in Columbia Heights with a portion of its face missing. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping the community can help me out with recommendations for a career counselor/coach for exploring a career change. Particularly, it would be helpful to find someone with expertise in helping experienced attorneys (15 years in my case) explore a new legal practice or transition out of law practice – not simply out of private practice to an in-house role, but to a non-lawyer role.”
