“Dear PoPville,

Trying to find someone… was hit by a car (while walking) in the crosswalk of Columbia and Harvard st. at around 7:15pm last night. There was a woman who I THINK was named Peggy who was an absolute angel from the moment I hit the ground to getting inside an ambulance. I would love to be able to thank her properly!!!”

If you are or know Peggy please have her email me at [email protected] so I can put her in touch with OP. Thank you.

“Dear PoPville,

My car has been trying to die for several years now and I’m ready to let it and be car-free. So what do I do with it? Are there junkyards? Someplace to donate it? I’d need someone to come tow it, as it doesn’t even run.”


“Dear PoPville,

I received a letter in the mail from the DC Office of Tax Records to upload some documents to prove my submission from TurboTax wasn’t fraud. However, the instructions in the letter do not match how the website is laid out. And the website has huge bugs– (more…)
