“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you know the answer or could help. I loooved Kalorama Cafe tahini-soy sauce dressing. They used to sell at Whole Foods in Rockville, but it’s been many years. I desperately need this dressing. Think anyone out there knows the recipe?”

“Dear PoPville,
This may be a long shot, given the Maryland license plate, but my dog and I ran into a man and his pup on the Glover Park trail near Georgetown this morning (Saturday). (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
There is an out-of-state vehicle that was parked on our street in September and has not been moved since. Several neighbors noticed that it is leaking fluids and there is what appears to be an oil slick running right down into the storm drain. Unfortunately, I have called every DC agency and no one seems to have responsibility. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for a new apartment in DC and wondering what sites people use to search? I’ve looked on Craigslist and it feels like a mess of duplicate posts by big management companies and large buildings. Would love to hear reader suggestions for places to look or buildings they’d recommend. I’m flexible on location but prefer to be 10-15 min walk from a Red, Yellow or Green line station.”
“Dear PoPville,
The stretch of Warder close to New Hampshire got a new look recently, including a better-placed bike lane. They also put up new signs,although one just says “At New Hampshire” even though it’s considerably before New Hampshire. I cannot possibly understand whom this is for, except for people with memory issues. I don’t have any questions or criticisms I just thought the community would like to see it.”
“Dear PoPville,
As more and more of us are going back into the office full time it seems like Capital Bike Share (which I love!) hasn’t kept up with the city’s rush hour demand. In the past few weeks it’s become increasingly difficult to find an empty dock downtown in the morning or find a bike in Shaw in the mornings. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My boyfriend is in town with his corgi and we took a bunch of buses around the city doing tourist stuff. We have a specially designed backpack for the corgi which is quite secure and seemed to fit the metro rules for “a carrier that the dog can’t escape from”. All of the bus drivers didn’t bat an eye until the end of the day the driver of the 52 bus wouldn’t let us on. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live in Eckington and have been blasted all day with heavy base and electronic music from the Project GLOW festival over at RFK festival grounds, which is ~3.5mi away. Somehow didn’t hear it yesterday, and it goes on until at least 11pm tonight (Sunday) which feels kind of nuts to me. I can’t even imagine how loud it is for neighborhoods even closer. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
There was a really nice gentleman at the Whole Foods at The Boro in Tysons who came through my checkout line at register 12 around 11:30am (Friday, 4/22). He had salt and pepper hair, had a beard, cute black rimmed glasses, blue shirt, really nice smile. (more…)
