one day of flyers from before the primary election back in June
“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if the community knows how to opt out of physical mailings from DC election campaigns. I turn to online sources for information about candidates so the physical mail is an unnecessary and unsustainable source. Google hasn’t gotten me far, so any tips would be appreciated.”

“Dear PoPville,
Can we put food out for the birdies? A google research has news articles that are contradicting and i don’t want to harm the birds.

“Dear PoPville,
What has happened to all the food trucks near L’Enfant Plaza?? There used to be so many and now there are none– due to the repairs at the Maryland Avenue entrance?? Fed worker Husband went there the other day and was surprised that there were no food trucks. Can you help solve the mystery?”

“Dear PoPville,
On Fridays my husband and I often like to take my toddler out around his dinner time and our HH time. We also like to do breakfast or lunch out on the weekend. We live on the hill and frequent the same old places there and at Union Market, so I would love to mix it up a bit elsewhere in the city. Where do readers like to take their kids? (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to shout out an incredibly patient and kind UPS delivery driver who had to deal with a staggeringly stubborn, entitled, and unkind woman holding up traffic on the 1700 block of Euclid on Tuesday evening at about 6pm.

“Dear PoPville,
Around 2am I saw a white pickup truck slowly rolling down our street, shining a flashlight at the cars parked along it. At first I thought it might be someone casing for rims, but then I noticed it had its blinkers on — (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Have a bit of an odd request I’m hoping to get community help with. The previous owners of my home replaced rotting wood trim decor with mismatched pieces (some of which are also already rotting). (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
What’s happening to Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park? This beautiful and unique urban park has been largely closed for over a year. While the National park service is having repairs done to the lower plaza, the rest of the park is open but severely neglected. Walkways are crumbling, weeds are growing out of control. The fountain is again turned off and getting overgrown.”

“Dear PoPville,
I acquired a three-drawer dresser last year that turned out to be far older than I thought (I’m talking vintage metal drawer pulls, wooden tracks for the drawers, dovetail joints). I can’t refinish or refurbish it, so I’d really like to find someone who could put some time and work into this. (more…)
