“Dear PoPville,
Renovation of the corner house on the southeast corner of 13th and Harvard is underway. We’re delighted. Then we noticed a huge slab on the front yard.

Update from the Department of For-Hire Vehicles:
“The Department of For-Hire Vehicles, which regulates taxicabs, limos, and ride-hailing companies in the District, allows residents of Maryland and Virginia to operate in the District. One requirement is to display a taxi vehicle tag issued by the District. In the past, some taxicabs had tags issued both by the District and their home jurisdiction. That is why you may occasionally see taxicabs with two tags.”

Anyone else had to deal with this?”
“Dear PoPville,
I am reaching out to you because our water bill went up…a lot. Not too long ago we had a satellite responsive water regulator installed by dc water. Things were fine until February when our bill went up to $300 (normal bill around $100) and we were out of town 20 of those 28 days. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
The post the other day about home solar energy solutions got me wondering if anyone could recommend a clean energy solution for those of us who live in condo buildings and can’t add solar panels to our roof. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This makeshift landfill appeared just off Whitehaven Trail (behind the Safeway on Wisconsin Ave). Someone seems to be dumping and possibly sorting trash here. There’s no vehicle access, so they must be carrying the garbage bags down the trail — very strange! (more…)
