“Dear PoPville,
We had a local photographer take photos for our wedding and were pleased with how they turned out. Unfortunately, she put together our wedding album and inexplicably shipped it to our apartment without letting us know in advance and without any insurance on it, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I finally got around to calling my dentist’s practice to make an appointment for my first cleaning since the pandemic began… only to find out that my dentist has retired.

“Dear PoPville,
Wednesday night (10/19) around 6pm, I was stopped by a 6’2” muscular man wearing a blue baseball hat, blue long sleeve shirt, jeans, and a dark puffer vest on the corner of 21st & L Street NW. I had my head buried in my phone when he asked me where to find Peet’s coffee. I told him to try For Five Coffee Roasters.

“Dear PoPville,
Was curious if your or the readers had any idea what happened to Ordinary People Barbershop–a great spot that was on 7th St. until recently. One day I walked by and it was cleared out and the sign on the window reads “THX SHAW” and “See You in 2024-5″. That’s an awfully non-specific time frame! Any clue?”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m a student in DC driving a car with out-of-state plates. I will only be here for this school year and want to park by my apartment in the district. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m a huge fan of pickleball but hate going out to Arlington for decent courts — friends have sent photos of people playing on the 18th street tennis courts at night (photo above). Do you have any idea of who this group is/if they’re part of a league anyone could join?”
