“Dear PoPville,
Can you ask everyone why the trees are gone on the corner of Columbia and 18th? They were basically brand new and were a great addition and now they’re gone! (they were where the little mulch squares are in the photo)”

“Dear PoPville,
I’d be interested in hearing from the PoPville community about recommendations for a goodbye party! I use the the term “party” loosely. Where in DC is a good spot to stake out a table (or two) for the afternoon and invite friends to come and say bye?”
“Dear PoPville,
I am hoping someone from the community may have a better camera angle or may have seen something to help identify the car that hit my car. This happened on 10th and Spring Rd in front of Raymond Elementary School (Friday)..”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m a volunteer puppy raiser and the DC Group Leader for the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs. GDF and AVD are the organizations behind Biscuit and Captain (the Capitals team dogs) and Sully (President George H.W. Bush’s service dog and the current Walter Reed facility dog). Our programs are currently facing an urgent need for volunteer puppy raisers in the coming months.
The Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs breed, raise, train, and place guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired and service dogs for veterans and first responders with disabilities, including PTSD. Volunteer puppy raisers are a vital part of each dog’s journey towards changing someone’s life, and we have an urgent need for more raisers in the next few months. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Does the community know where I can get morning glory? It’s a Thai dish with the leafy vegetable cooked in oyster sauce and garlic. Very popular in Southeast Asia but seems to be unavailable in The DC area.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was in Joy’s Nail Spa on 18th street the other day and she told me that she’s closing in a week. I’m bummed, and was hoping you could show her some love. She deserves a vacation and hopefully with a bunch of support over the next week, she can take a good long one. Seems like she’s closing early next week.”
Update: Help relocate and return to Joy’s Spa GoFundMe:

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been a DC resident for about six years. Preparing to sign my lease for my next apartment building, and came across an unexpected provision in the contract. Regarding parking (the building has a garage):

Should Resident and/or Occupants either seek to obtain by application or actually obtain an RPP, that would constitute a serious and material breach of the lease, (more…)

On one end of Alaska Ave in NW DC, it intersects 16th St; on the other, it briefly merges with Kalmia Rd, then intersects Georgia Ave. there are arrows painted at each of these two ends–and i’ve tried to draw what they look like. Over the past few years I’ve asked my neighbors what those painted arrows on Kalmia mean, and I’ve gotten a variety of answers. how do you interpret them? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m curious to know what bottomless brunch options there are during the week for people who typically work during the weekend and can’t otherwise partake?”
