“Dear PoPville,
When walking my dog on our usual route I noticed two trash cans on the street in Petworth/Brightwood Park had gone missing. Is trash can theft a common thing? Or is there another reason they disappeared? Should I report this to the city?”
The last time we spoke about missing trash cans folks wrote that it was actually D.C. government that is removing them on purpose because they were getting filled up with too much household trash.

“Dear PoPville,
A dear friend of mine passed away completely out of the blue on August 1st. He leaves behind a beautiful young son who will never know his dad, and an extremely impressive daughter who he doted on constantly. Dan was an incredible friend and an even better father.

“Dear PoPville,
I recently passed by Lee’s Tailor on 11th street just south of U street and was sad to see it had closed!
Does anyone know if the nice women who ran it is still in business somewhere else? Or does anyone have any other recommendations in the city for a good tailor?“

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you have gotten any reports of 5 orange round shaped “lights” moving pretty low in a straight formation above the NW DC area. They aligned side by side and then vanished. I was with 4 girls on my friends rooftop and me and another girls saw the lights as well. We were on a roof top on Westminster looking over to the Shay building when we saw this.”

begging you to do a best DJs in DC. It’s rough out there for people wanting songs not 7 years old.”
“Dear PoPville,
I’ve opened a number of requests on 311 site, which are then closed without any update, or solution. I’ve called 311, where tickets are created by agents, but when I login all of the details I took the time to convey- and are important to the issue- ie where dumping is occurring- are not there as the agent didn’t bother to input.

“Dear PoPville,
Any word on Le Mirch in Dupont? It’s been closed the last two weekends when I tried to go. Website doesn’t have any updates….”
I tried calling the number listed at their Facebook and it’s been disconnected. Also there are no hours nor contact info listed on their website.

“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what’s going on outside of the Geico on 14th and Kenyon in Columbia Heights? The outside patio area has been under construction for months and it seems like they’ve completely torn it up. I don’t know if the Geico owns that space or if it’s something else but I’m just curious if it’s anything interesting!”
