“Dear PoPville,
I am curious if any readers have also had a bad experience with 7th Flats, the apartment building in Shaw. I moved out this summer and they have yet to give me my security deposit back despite regular communication from me. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Our water usage for our townhouse has tripled, from 10 CCF a month to almost 30 CCF. This has also raised our monthly water bill to $500 a month! (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I were sitting at the bar [Friday] at 6:30 pm at Shaw’s Tavern having a drink when a man bumped into me and ordered a drink.
Seconds later my purse that was on chair under my jacket fell to the floor and I had a bad feeling immediately. I quickly picked up my purse and checked it to find that my wallet was missing. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was on a run late yesterday afternoon and encountered a large fox on Massachusetts Ave (near the corner of Mass Ave and Belmont Rd). When it saw me, it ran into the bushes, making me think I was in the clear. However, when I turned around the fox was running pretty close behind me. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I had been meaning to email you to ask about left hand turns because it’s been bugging me for months. Someone posted a question about this on Greater Petworth the other day, and the community seems pretty divided about the issue. The fact that drivers can’t agree makes it very dangerous.
I went through the DMV Driver’s Manual and couldn’t find anything about it. I tried to find a place to ask a question on the DMV’s website, but the pulldown menu options didn’t match what I needed.
P.S. I think it’s the top option!”
“Dear PoPville,

Someone is normally out there directing cars and pedestrians, but this new guy won’t stop whistling at every single car and person. It is INCESSANT. From 7 am to about 9-10 am it is non-stop every 2 seconds. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live in Mount Vernon/Shaw area with a fair amount of trees and backyards (and some vacant lots). I’d been told we have some furry neighbors when I first moved in two years ago and have since seen the neighborhood alley cats and an opossum (from afar in my backyard late at night).
A couple of yard ago when newly here a few items were taken from my elevated back porch (I had dog treats in the bag that went missing) and was told it was likely raccoons.
Cut to this week when I went out to my porch and my patio furniture pillows were all over the place and my dog went crazy sniffing over some fur on them. Tonight I went on my deck to look at the sunset I was out there and finally met my neighbors. (more…)
