“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…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live at 16th and R streets NW and I’m used to a lot of street noise, but recently (as in right now, 7:56pm on 4/27) I’m hearing what sounds like a loud outdoor concert. It’s all good, I know I live in a city and expect the noise. But I’m honestly curious as to where it is coming from and if it is a regular program. (more…)
A reader sends yesterday from “13th & N Street NW. Shocked no one saw or heard this. Rock was at least 50 lbs and they carried it from down the street and across the street about 40 yards. Police didn’t even show up. Thieves got away with an ez pass and roll of paper towels. Reminder to not leave anything in your car. Seeking anyone with video.”
Oof.
Something I’ve been curious about for those who have cars and ez-pass: Do you leave your EZ-Pass in your car overnight or take it inside?

“Dear PoPville,
I feel sheepish/silly writing this note, but I crossed paths with the most beautiful woman while sitting at the Sweetgreen in Dupont Wednesday afternoon. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Interested to know if this is a weird fluke with my mail or a more general new problem with the local delivery system. I got this returned mail yesterday, but I’m pretty sure PEPCO puts the correct address on their payment slips, (more…)
