Sylvia sends this What the Helen of Troy is This? from Logan Circle. I spotted a similar set up on Wisconsin and they seem to count cars for transportation/road planning/safety purposes: (more…)
Dear PoPville
most recent theft sent to me this morning from Columbia Heights not the car described below
“Dear PoPville,
I witnessed a wheel theft in progress this morning in Shaw. This was shortly after 5am when I went outside with my dog. Two thieves dressed in black were in the process of stealing wheels from my neighbor’s newer model Honda. I stopped next to them on the sidewalk, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I have been going to 305 Dance Cardio classes in Manhattan Alley (13th and Florida, snuggled next to Maydan) and sadly the studio closes at the end of the month (they cited CoVid/gym mask mandates as the culprit). They told us Vida Fitness will host some of their Miami-style dance cardio classes and will still hold some outdoor classes in the DC area, but I was wondering if you could ask the masses for their recommendations for fun dance workout classes in the U Street/Co-Hi area. It could be within gyms too – I am looking at all my options. I have been going to this studio now for years and it’s my main form of intense exercise (and it’s FUN!!)”
“Dear PoPville,
This is on a light pole right next to the fire station in the West End. I’ve seen these things around town. And I could swear someone said they are gunshot monitors but I’m curious about what they really are. (more…)

Anyone convert a natural gas furnace to an electric furnace that supplies hot water to radiators?

“Dear PoPville,
I made the unfortunately abysmal mistake of living on U street (technically I live on 12). And every day of my life I wonder why the city does nothing about the dirt bikes.

Every single thing about them is illegal. I parked illegally on accident for one morning and got $145 in parking and towing fees. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My mom (62) is looking to rent an apartment in the DMV for $1,000 a month in a safe neighborhood. Studio or one bedroom, preferably within 30 min drive to Brookland, does not require a certain income. Which areas do you think she should look? Any recommendations on specific apartment complexes?”

“Dear PoPville,
If you pull into an alley from a busy street and someone is coming out of the alley, who should back up? For context, this alley has an open commercial parking lot off of it. Does it matter where in the alley? Thanks!”
“Dear PoPville,
I (woman in her mid-20s) had a missed connection at Del Sur Cafe, Tuesday night around 6:00 pm. I was wearing a black jacket and had my hair in a bun. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Was wondering if there were any recommendations for good optometrists in DC? More specifically NW DC. Would love to support somewhere local rather than big chains like LensCrafters. Also want to make sure they do quality exams – I have had issues with getting the incorrect prescription before.”
