“Dear PoPville,
I need some assistance. Over the past three months, I have been battling my neighbor next door for construction that is quite frankly abhorrent. Mid-August, they ripped a chunk of my side of the party wall off during their demolition of the house. We had that terrible storm back then and the water rushed into my second floor causing it to pour out of a light fixture. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone experience a loss of cellular signal on the Green line right as they approach Mt. Vernon Square station? It happened a few times before to me but now I’m finding it happening almost every time I pass the stop. Would anyone know why this is the case? Could it be a dead zone?”
Update from WMATA: “The damaged fiber on the is also impacting customers on the Green Line between Mt Vernon Sq & Archives. Crews are working to make repairs, and we hope to have connectivity restored to everyone by the weekend. Thanks again for your patience.”

“Dear PoPville,
I am a new DC resident interested in signing up for a marathon. I’ve heard from a colleague that the Rock n’ Roll marathon is a fun course, but it looks like it is only a half marathon now – not a full course (am I wrong about that)? I also heard the Marine Corps marathon is great, but I just missed it, and am hoping to run a race sooner than next October.
Does anyone have any race suggestions? I’d love to run a course that is more scenic, if possible.”

“Dear PoPville,
I am hoping to find a witness to the car crash I was in on Wednesday evening, around 5pm in Dupont.
I was driving southbound on 16th street, attempting to make a left hand turn on Q just outside the Jewish community center. There was quite a bit of traffic, and the large white truck traveling the opposite direction waved me through to make the turn. At this time, a black Kia Niro came speeding down the bus lane (which is illegal to drive in during the hours of 3:30-7:30pm) and T-boned me, totaling my black Prius. (more…)
Ed. Note: sorta the opposite situation from last month.
“Dear PoPville,
Today (Tuesday) was trash day at my house. About 10 minutes after it was picked up I went to grab my bin. To my surprise it was gone. Looked up and down the alley, nothing. Now my bin was in rough shape but I thought it was fine for a while longer. No one would steal my damaged bin. Many better options around my alley. (more…)
“PoPville, I’m curious if anyone recognizes this wall. The picture is of my grandmother around 1945 when she lived in DC.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Here’s one for you…wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I went to vote in-person at one of the early voting centers. I’ve been registered to vote for years, voted in-person in the primary, and received a mail-in ballot for the general. I handed the election official my drivers license, and there was no record of me in the system. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I moved to the Adams Morgan / Columbia Heights area in DC last year. Generally, we are pretty happy to be in DC, but one of my family members has a strong fear of dogs after having been bitten twice. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Was wondering you’d be willing to share about Kadoo, a sweet kitty at Humane Rescue Alliance who is going on a year of looking for a forever home. He has special needs and requires a special home, but he’s hopeful he will find one soon! HRA just launched a tshirt fundraiser inspired by Kadoo, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
There’s a literal river of $h!t running down the sidewalk of the 600 block of Columbia Rd NW. It has been reported to 311, but no indication of when the department of sanitation will come out. Note below is from the Park View Beautification Crew‘s Facebook page. (more…)
