“Dear PoPville,
I live in Adams Morgan, and our building just received another notice from DC Water saying that the water will be shut off tomorrow for 8 hours. Over the past few weeks, our building has received two additional notices saying that our water would be shut off on other dates, but the water has never actually been shut off at the designated time. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? It is a little disruptive to prep for long periods of water shut offs that never happen.”

“Dear PoPville,
Sunday evening (7/3) I was riding a scooter at 14th and W St, NW when I was hit by a cab and went face over. Three women stopped and saw I was bleeding from the head. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Sitting in Logan Circle reading a book – guy with giant amp pulls up on bike blasting music and sits on a bench. Zero social awareness. Everyone else in the park gets up and leaves. What’s the end game here? Attention? Other people noticing? Of course nobody is gonna say anything we all just have to find somewhere else to go. 311 can’t do anything until after dark. Frustrating since it’s a nice day and Logan has plenty of seating and shade.”
“Dear PoPville,
Was wondering if this has been happening to other people in DC? This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve had one of these notices hung on my door, figured it was just an ad or something but I discovered the number is to a debt collection agency. I have no outstanding debts and the lack of information makes me believe it’s a scam.”

“Dear PoPville,
Missed Connection: Good Morning, Red Line 6/21
You got on the red line train 2-3 stops south of Ft.Totten around 730/830AM on 7/21 and said “good morning” to the whole car to which absolutely no one responded I found this intriguing so, when you sat down right next to me, I struck up a conversation. We joked about folks being so into their phones they had no idea what was going on around them and chatted for the next several stops. You had great eyes, dark skin, a beard under your mask and told me you worked at DOS. I got off at DuPont and thought I heard you say “we should meet up sometime” as I exited but the doors were already closed behind me. You really brightened my day though – Here’s to going out on a limb (and maybe a date)!”

“Harrison playground baseball field locked”
“Dear PoPville,
Any complaints about the DPR and their ridiculous regulations for using “athletic” fields? I’ve lived over here on v street next to Harrison park (basketball court, kids jungle gym, and baseball field)… and the DPR keeps it locked like 95 percent of the time. One of the only green spaces around and it’s locked up. (more…)
