“Dear PoPville,
In looking at a lot of my covid tests from the DCPL, they indicate an expiration date at the end of this month. Is this legit? Or, like eggs, is this more of a best by date? I’ve stocked up on a fair few of these in case of emergencies and would rather not bin them if they’re still valid.”
I’m told that the PCR expiration dates are indeed firm. And if you have PCR kits that you got more than than a year ago (without any expiration date listed), you should toss them out.

Regarding the 15 minute rapid tests I’m told that The DC covid centers provide a hand out of how to look up whether their expiration dates have been extended. Most rapid tests that DC Health have handed out have been extended by 3 months but definitely consult the hand out to be sure.

“Dear PoPville,
We just watched a military-style plane make 3 loops around Navy Yard and drop several large yellow and black streamers (at about 6pm Monday). The plane was also yellow and black. What is going on??

We thought it might be related to a baseball game, but the streamers fell roughly around the blocks of 2nd and I to 1st and K SE–a few blocks from the stadium. (more…)

Where did all the planet aid donation bins in the city go? Went to my usual spots to donate some clothing and they are all gone. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On Saturday, June 11, at around 11 PM, I (glasses, goatee, black jacket) was walking south on 18th Street in Adams Morgan when you (a very attractive woman in a blue dress) accidentally stepped on my foot from behind. (more…)
