“Dear PoPville,
Occasionally I see reps from a variety of companies looking to install solar panels allegedly for free and wanted to know anyone’s experiences with various companies, free vs. buying, impact on utility bills, etc.”
For those uninterested please enjoy some MC Solaar until our next post: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My car was hit over Christmas/new years while parked in Mt Pleasant (next to Bancroft Elementary.) The bumper was hit and damaged. I didn’t see a note at the time and turns out it had slipped down into the hood of my car so I just found it. Unfortunately I can read almost 99% of it except for 2 digits in the phone number. The most important part! Could you help me track down this mystery person? Thanks!”
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to bring some attention to an issue we are having in our neighborhood. A little over a year ago, our neighborhood dry cleaner moved (largely due to COVID). The small property at 1301 Florida Ave NW, which is on the ground floor of a residential four story apartment complex, was vacant for a bit. A smoke shop tried to move in but was denied by the zoning board because the store is just across the street from Cardozo high school (see photo above). (more…)
Ed. Note: If you have a photo/hi res video of that part please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
“Dear PoPville,
We were in the pit at the Springsteen concert Monday night. At about 1:30 into Bruce’s cover of Nightshift on 3/27 as Bruce was dancing on the catwalk he looked right at my wife, reached down and grabbed her hand and held it for the better part of 8 seconds while he sang right at her. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
This large envelope was delivered to us late last year, and even though there is no “Benjamin C. Evans” who has lived at this address (at least since 2015) and I wrote “not at this address” on the envelope, USPS sent it back to our house. I can’t help but think that there could be something of at least sentimental value inside and would love to get it to its intended recipient.”
If you know who this is or this is you, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
“Dear PoPville,
(TL;DR: Writing about a $500 insurance charge associated with a COVID test from Sameday Health in Georgetown – wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience.)
My previous insurance is attempting to charge me $500 for COVID test lab work from a test I took in July 2021, billed Feb 20, 2023 – nearly two years after the fact in addition to being covered under the CARES Act at the time. The insurance company claims I filed too late, but I never received any kind of documentation to submit – only an email from Sameday Health essentially saying “what you’ll get from your insurance isn’t a bill!” (more…)
phone found this morning, if yours email me at [email protected] and I can put you in touch with OP.
A reader found an iPhone this morning and there was a disturbing warning/response:
“Be careful. I did this once and then had my front door kicked in with men raiding my home looking for the iPhone.
This was in 2017. I found it outside a bar at closing time it was like 3am, me and my roommates took the phone with us that night and somehow we were texting with a friend of the owner. No texts the following day and then around 10pm our front door was kicked in and the phone was taken. I think it was just the phone and my roommates Xanax that they took but it was scary nonetheless.

“Dear PoPville,
I live in DC and visited a friend in Arlington only to discover the attached note on my windshield when I headed home after about three hours. It was my first time there, and my car had been legally parked on the street (with plenty of open spaces immediately surrounding it). (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This woman ignored the fence and NO DOG signs placed every few feet around the perimeter of a landscaped area and took a leisurely stroll inside so her pet could do its business. When I pointed out it was defecating RIGHT NEXT to a sign, she told me The Law doesn’t require her to comply. (more…)
