“Dear PoPville,
Funny sight on Saturday night in Mount Pleasant. The car was parked in an illegal spot too close to the intersection. Apparently neighbors weren’t pleased.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m thinking of renting out my condo, but would need to put some work into fixing it up a bit. What features do renters want these days? In unit laundry? Custom closets? Where do I spend money to get the best return as a rental in DC?”
“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??

“Dear PoPville,
Earlier this week (maybe Tuesday, 6/7?) there were a bunch of fire trucks around the Adams Morgan Harris Teeter. A cute guy outside HT made a joke (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Any recommendations for furniture restorers? We just bought a beautiful antique cupboard that could use a little TLC to bring her back to her original glory, and wondering if anyone has a good reference in the DC area they could share. Thank you!”
