“Dear PoPville,
I saw an article about an interesting comet recently and was wondering if you or the community had any tips for public observatories or other places near DC that might allow for viewing the comet through a telescope?“

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping I can poll the community for some valuable advice. I gave birth to my third child last fall, my first in the District. She’s now four months old, and the city has yet to provide me with her birth certificate or forwarded the information to SSA. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m reaching out the Popville community to crowdsource recommendations for a breakfast spot. Here’s the criteria:
Open by 8:30 on a Saturday morning,
Full breakfast menu (think eggs, omelettes, pancakes, et cetera); not just pastry’s, sandwiches, or avant garde foods,
Reasonably priced ($15 per person not including tip); yes, we can afford more, but we’re really looking for a hole in the wall with solid food.
Places that we’ve been and mostly meet the above criteria: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Just got this notification from our daycare about an early closure due to risk of riots and rallies.
I saw this news alert that all MPD officers have been activated, but haven’t seen anything official from DC police or other entities.
I’ve never gotten an alert like this. Hopefully this is an intense over abundance of caution – wishing calm, safety, and peaceful activism for our city.”
Updates if/when more info is released from District authorities.
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share a frustrating issue I encountered with the new SmartTrip system since they switched over last year. I lost my wallet last week so I bought a new SmarTrip card, registered it online, transferred my funds from my old card, and even topped it up with more funds and set up automatic refill, all online. Apparently, none of that actually gets sent to your new card until you tap your card at the same metro station at least 24 hours apart so it can “localize” (whatever that means). (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’d like to give a shoutout to JoseLo Gutierrez and his small business, City Acupuncture Circle.
As has been the case for many small business owners, the pandemic really affected his business, and with remote work still popular, he isn’t getting as much foot traffic as he used to.
He’s a true master of his craft and helps with everything from back pain and headaches to insomnia and more. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I know you posted about (interior) painter recommendations before but it’s been a moment. Does anyone in the community have a recommendation for good painters? Looking to have our 2BD/2BA painted in the next couple of weeks.”
“Dear PoPville,
Hoping for some insight on this, there is construction happening at the townhome (apartment building being built) that was completely torn down, directly next to our apartment building. The construction workers , nothing personally against them, keep putting cones in the street blocking a parking space. There is no sign up permitting wise blocking or securing the parking space. Not to mention there is also parking in the rear of the building. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live in NW next to the T street park (17th and T NW).
Since January 1, 2023, I have heard many loud airplane noises in the neighborhood. This weekend was particularly bad. This week I heard airplanes at 5.09 am.
Am I the only one to hear this? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m a new DC resident, after living in the suburbs in recent years. It looks like DC seems to require dog licensing, but does anyone actually get a license for their dog? (more…)
