Anyone have any recommendations for someone who does mold inspections?

“Dear PoPville,
I have a job interview later this week. My last interview was several years ago, and I am WAY out of practice. Any recommendations? What sorts of questions are common in interviews these days, any do’s and don’ts, general recommendations, etc.?”

I was walking near the Zoo Loop Trail yesterday at 5:45pm, and the gates on both ends were wide open, with the trail getting plenty of use. Were the hours quietly extended” or did they just forget to close it?
Update from a reader:
“The trail is open until 7pm during the zoo’s summer hours. They are able to keep the trail area staffed and open for an hour after they close according to the zoo’s Director.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can help me find a witness. Around 2:45 pm yesterday (Wed.), I was stopped at the light on Park Place and Kenyon Street NW. I was in the left lane, next to the southbound bike lane. Very suddenly, 2-3 cars (maybe Kia Souls? Those boxy kind of cars) sped by going through the red light on my right, and another came up behind me and drove over the flexiposts/concrete through the bike lane to do the same. There were no cyclists or others in the lane, thank goodness.
I heard a scrape, not a crash, and was so stunned I didn’t know what to do. As I got out to look at the car, I noticed scratches and scraping. I then saw a police car drive by, and turn right on Kenyon (not following any of the cars, no lights on, etc). (more…)

A retail business owner’s large car with Maryland plates regularly blocks alleys and driveways in the neighborhood. A while ago it started displaying this “Visitor Parking Permit” (I’ve marked out personally identifiable information) on the dashboard and staying all day in spaces restricted to residents. The format looks legit, (more…)
