Wondering if anyone else has had trouble receiving the signal and watching local ABC and CBS for the last couple of weeks? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This is a topic that has puzzled me for YEARS and I hope the community can shed some light on it.
In the triangle between Georgia Ave, Pine Branch Ave and Sheridan there’s TWO gas stations: an Exxon to the north and a BP to the South.
The BP is consistently more expensive than the Exxon, no big deal, right? Free Market.
But these days, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I lost my wallet on Tuesday, May 23th and a kind person mailed it back to me, however they did not leave a note or a return address. I was hoping a post might generate a response from whoever did send it so I could give them a proper “thank you”. (more…)
Ed. Note: While I have no doubt that “seat fillers” is a real thing, I thought for sure this listing was fake/satire. But it’s still live so I’m wondering if it’s actually real? $1000 seems like a crazy amount for a seat filler. If it’s fake though, wouldn’t it have been removed by now? Is this thing real or fake? Because it’s still an active post – it’s gotta be for real, yes?
Lots of folks have sent links to this Craigslist ad:

“Dear PoPville,
I am wondering if I could get some input from the community about alternative routes to DCA from the Dupont area during the upcoming military parade.
I have a business trip early Monday morning (6/16). My flight is at 6am and I see the road closures are in place until 6am on 6/16. Both routes I am aware of from the dupont area to DCA appear to be closed (Arlington Memorial Bridge and 14th St/I-395). (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Like many of us, I want to understand the options (if any) of obtaining citizenship in another country. I have already explored citizenship by ancestry in Poland and it was a bust, the lineage was broken due to when my grandparents came to the US.
Specifically, I am wondering if there are knowledgeable and trustworthy immigration attorneys who can identify reasonable options before (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m off of 14th street. The city is doing the same thing they did for the memorial parade in my neighborhood. No parking signs went up overnight, all the cars have been ticketed, and tow trucks are going up and down the street. Can you tweet/post whatever to give people a heads up so they can get to their cars before towing? I’m on R street but I’d say people should look to see if they’re safe anywhere off 14th for the whole length of the parade. To be clear this is on streets perpendicular to the parade route. The parade route was properly noticed through the week. This is the streets coming off of the route.”

“Dear PoPville,
What’s the process for renewing streatery licenses or permits? I generally LOVE them but the one in front of my building is for a dinner-only place that is barely occupied for dinner and occupied by non-diners during the day. It’s never cleaned and just adds to the rat problem. I’d like to get involved when they’re up for renewal.”
