“Dear PoPville,
Wasn’t the DC government supposed to release the Covid numbers on Wednesdays now that they have ridiculously moved to once a week reporting? Any word from them?”
Ed. Note: You can see the latest they’ve released as ‘Key Metrics’ here.

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you might solicit recommendations for fish sandwiches given that this is the season of Lent. I hail from a city known for its fish fries and I would love to have something along those lines here but restaurants are ok too. Bonus points for recs in northern DC so I can get the food home hot.”

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection last Friday, 3/11, 7 pm in the evening.
I was sitting by the bar at Himalayan Heritage in Adams Morgan when this super cute girl walked in to pick up her order. Pretty eyes, black hair and tall. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I googled myself, out of curiosity, and was shocked to see that my exact address came up as the third search result. This was from a voter registration website. I have a unique name, and I can’t be alone in not wanting my address on the internet for reasons ranging from privacy, to safety, to just plain “nope”. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am looking for a new dermatologist. I did a search on Popville and it seems the last time this subject came up was in 2012. Can we refresh for current recommendations?”

“Dear PoPville,
I was at Copycat Co on H street (Saturday night, 3/12) with a group of friends. We were saddled up to the bar and this very cute brunette with glasses (B.) was sitting behind me. She and I interacted a couple of times, and from what my female friends told me she seemed to be laughing at the stories I was telling. I was the blonde haired guy in the flannel shirt. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if readers have any advice or success stories for changing condo bylaws?
For context, my partner and I began the condo-buying process last summer. One of the reasons we looked forward to owning a place was to get a dog (we have wanted a large breed). We put an offer on a place (our 3rd offer) that was advertised as allowing pets. After our offer was accepted, we learned that the building has a pet weight limit and dogs larger than 25 pounds are not permitted. Understanding this, we moved forward and purchased the condo.
However, I was not ready to give up on at least trying to change the bylaws and remove the pet weight limit, so I joined the condo board last fall. (more…)

Looking for any salon recommendations. I am finally feeling ready to sit in a salon for a few hours and get a hair cut. Thanks in advance!!”

“Dear PoPville,
We have a friend coming to town for his birthday and want to put together a fun, adult-centric, off-the-beaten-path scavenger hunt for the weekend. We have some of the usuals, monuments, breweries/distilleries, etc, but what should we add? Any fun and creative ideas?”
“Dear PoPville,
I have a question about overnight water shut offs. DC Water shut the water off Friday for 4 hours during the day for emergency repairs, which was fine because it’s easy enough to go to the office or use public bathrooms during the day, but now they’re going to shut it off for 8 hours overnight, (more…)
