Our kitty is bouncing back from an infection and is currently getting medication and some nutrition via an esophageal tube. She’s a sweet and gentle cat and tolerates the e-Tube feedings well. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for advice on how to win the second-level appeal for an unjustified ticket where my first-level appeal was somehow unsuccessful.
TL;DR summary:
– My inspection sticker had an expiration date of 1/5/24.
– There was some leftover adhesive on the windshield that partially obscured the pointy left part of the “4,” making it look like a little bit like a “1.”
– A ticket officer who saw the sticker in February 2022 thought it said 1/5/21 and issued me a ticket.
– I appealed the ticket, explaining the situation and including a photo of the (removed) 1/5/24 inspection sticker (which the nice men at the DMV Inspection Station replaced with another sticker with an expiration date of 1/5/24).
– My appeal was rejected.
My ideas so far for the second-level appeal: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A few months ago, my girlfriend went to go check on her car in Woodley Park to see it had been towed from the normal spot and city construction signs where her car was. She is 100% certain she did NOT park in the construction zone, but instead the city expanded the zone (or moved the sign) to now encompass the parking spot. Her car was towed to Conn Ave., which has limited parking, where it was promptly ticketed multiple times and towed again to the location where she was eventually told her car was. She is now “responsible” for approximately $700 in parking tickets.
First, we tried disputing the tickets through the DMV’s parking payment system. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what’s going on with the volleyball courts near the Lincoln Memorial? I used to play there every summer, but the courts were closed down during the pandemic quarantine in spring 20202 and never reopened. I found out last summer that they were undergoing renovation. I drove by recently and the courts appear to be finished with new nets, sand, and everything you need to play the game of volleyball except that the whole area is still inside a construction fence. There’s no information online about why they haven’t opened yet. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Are there areas of ward 4 that dont have street cleaning? How do people go on vacations for a few weeks and not get ticketed?”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for recommendations for a dog walker in the Adams Morgan area who has experience with reactive dogs. I’d prefer someone who can walk my dog alone. If that’s not an option, a small group is ok so long as the walker knows how to introduce reactive dogs and understands they need more time and space to acclimate to new pup friends.”

I was in DC last month and saw this as I was walking to the National Mall from the metro station. A friend said your people might know what it is?”

“Dear PoPville,
I ran into the owners and they told me they are NOT closed! They have a gas connection issue and are waiting on the landlord to fix it. I think the landlord is pushing back saying they are not going to fix it so they have closed indefinitely. Can we please help them?? They are a Korean couple who don’t speak the best English. Let’s get them open again!! Maybe a legally-minded reader could help!”
