“Dear PoPville,
Is road rage worse these days? I was almost run over in a crosswalk that had a big sign that said yield to pedestrians or pay $250 fine. The guy sped up and pulled over, got out of his car and started running toward me screaming (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am in need of a hairstylist – ideally, one that specializes in or is amazing with my fellow blonde-haired folk. I’m a natural(ish) blonde and had a great stylist but they moved. I’ve tried several other stylists and salons since but just haven’t found the one. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On Wednesday, I was driving down Whitehurst Freeway in Georgetown (just south of 27th St).
