“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping the community could populate a list of what — post COVID — businesses that are truly, really open 24 hours (and not just eateries like Bob & Edith’s).
Kramer’s in Dupont used to be 24 hours, as did a few Walmarts in the region. Would love to get a list started of where we can go late night for food and shopping.”

We are looking for advice on how to address the MS13 graffiti tags that have been appearing in an alleyway in Columbia Heights. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else been noticing the bus operator availability for a lot of routes recently? It’s quite frustrating since a lot of the common commuter routes has implemented “increased rides” during peak hours, but now (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Seeking out if there are any AA groups or sober circles for women in their 20’s?”
“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to remind folks to be wary of people coming to their door asking for your Pepco account number. Last night I had someone from Inspire Energy come to my door trying to get me to switch to their green energy supplier. He told me that if I didn’t switch to a green energy source I would have two fees added to my Pepco bill, and this door-to-door visit was my “final notice.” (more…)
