“Dear PoPville,
I want to post a missed connection that happened at dca (arrivals). He mentioned he lived in the dc area, so I know hes local not a tourist. It would be pretty awesome to connect to him. Highly unlikely but I’ll give it a shot. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Anyone know why the lamp lights are flickering in both Washington Circle and Logan Circle at night? At least in Washington Circle, this has been going on mysteriously for years and I noticed the same in Logan Circle this weekend. Is it supposed to be a deterrent from people sleeping in the parks, an electrical issue, ghosts, or something else?”
“Dear PoPville,
I was in a minor car crash in Silver Spring over the rainy weekend while driving a friend’s car. One of the other parties is claiming a personal injury (one not apparent at the scene) and my friend’s insurance company is saying her policy does not cover any liability that I may have from the crash– (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if anyone else has had experience with the parking garage under The Chase at Bryant Street, run by Bozutto (680 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002)
I was there on a Sunday two weeks ago for about 45 minutes to visit a retail location (District Dogs, they are amazing) that hadn’t completely opened yet. The parking garage is run by “Premium Parking” uses a confusing third-party app you’ve got to separately download. At the same time, the parking garage has no gates and also signs saying “Retail Parking Free!” (no specified time limit). There was even a garage attendant who said they didn’t know if the system was up and working. So I parked, did my errand, and left.
A week later this “citation” with a City of New Orleans seal shows up at my door. (more…)
“Filling out toilet tanks with water so we can flush our toilets!!”
Lindsay reports: “Waking up on DAY 3 with no water at Allegro DC- 3460 14th St NW. 297 unit building can’t flush/bathe.”
Malik reports: “Going on 49 hours with no water. Everytime they are supposed to turn it back on, they find a new problem that adds to the delay” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if your readers know of any flower shops that make and sell flower leis in the area? Trying to find a few for an upcoming graduation without making them myself. Thank you in advance!”
“Dear PoPville,
Is it just me or has there been a rise in spam texts in recent months? I seem to receive one every other day from different numbers. I wanted to see if other DC residents have experienced this too.
Perhaps the freakiest text I’ve received recently was someone claiming that they met me at Artechouse DC and that they were in need of cash desperately ($500). (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My boyfriend parked on Sherman Ave NW on Sunday around 4pm, across the street from the Shaw District Dogs. When we went to move the car today, it was completely wrecked. There’s a large amount of sawdust on the sidewalk and a cut tree up on the stone wall – technically on Garfield Terrace Senior apartments land. Did anyone take pictures of the tree on our car, or see what organization took care of/cleaned up the tree?” (more…)

Erika asked:
“DC friends/acquaintances, I have been gifted a whole ass Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and I don’t want it all to go bad. tips on where to give some it away (or do any of y’all wanna meet up and eat celebratory cheesecake with me?)”
The magnificent suggestions: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My friends and I have been noticing a large increase in baby birds on the sidewalk dead…so awful!! Any word on what’s going on there??? We’ve seen so many all around dc it’s so sad!”
Somebody asked about this to our twitter and I think some mentioned migration season and the danger of birds crashing into windows – does that sound right?
