“Dear PoPville,
I was at the bar at Rappahannock at The Wharf on Monday, June 6 trying to enjoy the beautiful weather, my new library book, and some oysters when a drunken guest wouldn’t leave me alone. After about 10 minutes of pestering questions, another patron- who I later learned was named Morgan- stepped up and told the man off, telling him I just wanted to read my book (so true, thank you Morgan)!

“Dear PoPville,
Do any other readers know of a place to drop off compost mid week? I usually go on Sundays to DuPont farmers market but it’s hard in the summer months with all the out of town weekends.”
14th and Florida Ave, NE
“Dear PoPville,
I live in an 1890s row house and received notice of a massive mixed-use development coming to the block a few doors down from my home. As part of the project, several existing buildings will be razed, and they’re attached to my and my neighbors’ homes. Needless to say, we’re concerned about how the construction will impact our homes and the immediate vicinity. We don’t want to end up with blocked steets/alleys, increased traffic, cracked foundations or something worse! We plan to attend an upcoming zoning meeting to share our concerns, and I’m wondering if anyone in the community has lived through this experience, and what, if anything, can be done to protect our interests in advance.”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m writing to share that I changed my DC address and voter registration (I have my paper voter card) in January, yet my absentee ballot was sent to my previous address. I’ll now be voting in person, and I imagine there could be folks waiting for a ballot who should know they may need to do the same or should contact DCBOE to find out what their options are.”
Georgia and New Hampshire Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
A few times in the last several weeks, my wife and I have tried to go to our closest CVS at Georgia and New Hampshire, but when we’ve approached the front door, there’s a hand-written sign in the window that says the store is closed at the moment, and the metal door is pulled down. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
What is the loud banging that happens some mornings around 7am that you can hear in NW? At first we thought it might be trash collection, but it is too rhythmic and way too loud. We live near 14th and U. Our current theory is something on one of the military bases/buildings?”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to ask everyone what their experience has been getting tickets for the Kusama exhibit at the Hirshhorn? When it was there a few years ago, it was the hottest ticket in town. Now the museum is only releasing same day tickets in person the morning of. I was wondering how good a chance I have getting tickets now?”
Another reader asked: “Anyone have experience getting the same-day tix to Kusama at the Hirshhorn? What time to get in line / when do they usually run out by?”

“Dear PoPville,
I was sitting in the chair next to a very cute girl at Banneker pool on Saturday AM (6/4). We chatted briefly about the book she was reading (Pachinko) and (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My best friend got engaged this weekend, and my boyfriend and I would like to take the couple out to a nice celebratory dinner. Looking for a place with good champagne, trendy, and not too many seafood options (my boyfriend is allergic). Trying to keep the bill under $500 as well for four people, but that is slightly flexible.”
