“Dear PoPville,
Over the weekend in my Columbia Heights rowhome, sewage-looking material came up in my basement drains unprovoked (2 outside/1 inside) as well as a little in basement toilet/tub.
Everything otherwise was draining properly and when it came up you could hear some kind of suction noise. After the rain yesterday, it receded (though have to clean up the sludge residue left over). (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
DC’ers in Foggy Bottom area. There’s a mamma duck and one of her babies up b/w 20 and 21st and F pacing back and forth looking for her other baby ducklings. If anyone sees a group of baby ducklings wandering the area, please call DC Wildlife at 202-882-1000. (more…)
Since, at least, the infamous case of Molly back in 2009 – it has been repeatedly urged that you do not leave your pets unattended.
Thanks to all who messaged me about this:
“Pet parents in the NoMa / H Street / Capital Hill area, please be aware that there is a woman stealing dogs from outside businesses.
She stole a dog on Saturday, May 21 from the Giant at H and 3rd NE, then attempted to take another dog from the Union Kitchen on F and 3rd NE on Monday, May 23, only hours after the first dog was taken back from her. (more…)
Thanks to Katie for sending: “Driver’s license system down. The dmv driver’s license system is down in all locations in DC. Been down since opening. They are saying no ETA on getting it fixed. Lots of people waiting.”
DC DMV reports: “Due to a technical issue, in-person and online transactions that require photo imaging are currently unavailable. Service to resolve this issue will be completed as soon as possible.”
“Dear PoPville,
When I was unloading the 3 dogs from the car this morning they starting barking at a man on the street. He said he would “shoot the f***” out of them” and that he had a gun in his pocket around 7am this morning. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping your readers/ hive mind might have some leads on where to get rare or old books appraised? (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
At around 3:45AM this morning, a man entered my house on the 4700 block of Colorado Ave NW while my wife and I were home and took her purse off the kitchen counter. He came in through our patio door in back, which was not locked at the time.
By coincidence I happened to be awake and heard the door open, so I immediately ran after him but was too far behind to catch him. He ran down the alley, got onto a bike, and rode away. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,
It’s going to be in the 90s this weekend! What are some water/nature activities in a couple hours driving distance??”
Sadly DC pools don’t open until Memorial Day weekend but D-G asks DC DPR: “any chance you all can turn on splash pads this weekend at least?”
Will update if they are able to turn them on early.
“Dear PoPville,
Are these people official or do they just have hivis vests and a bucket of food? (Bonus dog content)”
I know the duck ramps are legit but this is the first time I’ve heard about feeders. Anyone know if it’s part of the parks service?
