“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to share and hopefully you can share this with the community, but I was recently groped by a man in a wheelchair on the corner of 14th st and Fairmont st. Apparently, he has been doing this to females in the last few days around the area. Please warn others.”

“Dear PoPville,

While having the fun experience of getting my late night connecting flight from Charlotte to DCA delayed and ultimately canceled until 6am the next day, I ran into someone super cool.

We first met while trying to find the exit of the airport after they closed nearly every exit down. I was exhausted and zooming down the halls just trying to get out of there. He was too and we kept running into each other attempting to exit. We had a few laughs at that. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to flag for our community’s attention that with the summer season coming up, there are scary sophisticated scammers to look out for. I almost fell victim to one. My partner and I have been looking for rowhouses in DC and came across a beautiful one in the Adams Morgan neighborhood on Seaton Street NW. The pictures were real (corroborated by Zillow), the utilities were included, and the price was just right to convince us this was a great opportunity to jump on. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

I saw this sign across from my building at M & North Capitol. Of course i had my dog pee on the lamppost.

But is it legal to forbid someone from walking their dogs on a public sidewalk?“

“Dear PoPville,

I have an indoor/outdoor cat (I’ll call him Fluffy). He’s formerly feral (in fact, my property used to be his territory, which is how I ended up with him) and he sticks to my decent sized property. Lately another cat (I’ll call him Tigger) has been hanging around and fighting with Fluffy. This is the second time I’ve had to take Fluffy to the vet for rear-end wound care, which means he’s turning and running. I’ve tried to let Tigger’s Mom know that Tiger is attacking Fluffy, but she’s ignoring my texts.

What do I do? I’d love a few bucks pitched in to help with vet bills, but I’d much prefer that Tigger is kept indoors. I know that’s tough, and I could keep Fluffy indoors myself (also tough considering his feral origins), but surely there’s some compromise we can come to if only Tigger’s Mom showed some willingness to come to the table?”

“Dear PoPville,

I’m an adult who can’t drive and needs to learn how. Can you ask the crowd what the best driving school in the city is? Looking for one that’s safe and thorough and can pick me up!”
