Thanks to Jillian for sending from Petworth: “My roommate received the strangest note on his car. Since when is street parking supposed to be like this!? Plus, we were out of town for the weekend and he did move his car last week…”

Update from Pop’s SeaBar:
“Like many spots in DC in the last couple of weeks, we are currently working on a licensing issue with the city. We’re hopeful the issue will be resolved soon, and look forward to welcoming all of our friends and neighbors back as soon as possible!”
Further updates when we learn of a reopening date. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
DOEE has launched a community pilot program to allow citizens to document violations of DC’s Anti Idling law with photos and submit the case for enforcement.”
From DOEE:
“DOEE is initiating a Community Engine Idling Enforcement Pilot Program to test the feasibility of expanding opportunities for District residents to assist in improving air quality. Under the program, community members desiring to report violations of the engine idling regulations will use the District of Columbia 311 Mobile App (DC311 App) to report and submit information about violations in a manner that will allow for civil enforcement of the regulations. Prior to filing an engine idling violation report, please refer to these guidelines to ensure that the submission has the information necessary for a proper review and entry into the enforcement process.

“Dear PoPville,
I applied for a home audit through DC’s awesome RiverSmart Homes program, and after about a 5 month wait last year, an auditor came to check out my property and let me know which subsidized programs I was eligible for.

“Dear PoPville,
Looking to improve the wifi connection in my house and feel like there’s got be a pool of DC residents who live in old rowhomes with thick walls and have found a good solution. Looking for recommendations for extenders. Thanks in advance!”
Side note: On twitter this morning we were asked: “Have others been experiencing especially inconsistent Xfinity service in DC over the last couple weeks? Seems to be dropping out once every couple hours on some days.”
Have other One Medical subscribers canceled now that they’ve been acquired by Amazon? Waiting to see how the transition goes first?
Another reader writes: “I’m looking to switch to a new primary care provider in DC (preferably in NW). Does anyone have any recommendations for offices/specific physicians they’ve had good experiences with?”
“Dear PoPville,
Someone parked in front of no-parking signs for so long that they actually repaved *around* the car!
What surprises me the most is that the city (or the construction contractors doing the work) never had the car towed, even though it’s been easily a week or more.
Does anyone know what’s happening with all the road/construction work around the neighborhood the last 6 months or so? I saw one sign on 4th St SE saying water line replacement, but none of the other streets have signs, and have heard various rumors.”

“now that those 30 days have passed there are still (to no one’s surprise) many campaign signs left”
“Dear PoPville,
Last month when folks were asking about campaign signs you posted that they have until 30 days after the election to clean everything up. Well now that those 30 days have passed there are still (to no one’s surprise) many campaign signs left up. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
New sign up at Kalorama and Connecticut, in the little triangle-circle in front of the Chinese Embassy employees’ building.
I figured I’d better take a photo right away, since it’ll be taken out by a car failing to make that corner within a day or two.”
