“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…)

“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…)

“Dear PoPville,
I just found out my neighbor, a homeless man named Charles, [was shot] at the hand of a wanted serial killer. Ed. Note: The police report says: “On Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at approximately 1:21 am, members of the Fifth District responded to the 1700 block of H Street, Northeast for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, members located an adult male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.” It’s so easy to ignore and walk past the homeless, but I wanted to take a moment to share the little things I knew about him.
Charles lived on the corner of 17th and H Street NE–or within a radius of a few blocks–for the past three years. He would often stop me while I was walking my dog (Coco), so he could give Coco pets and left over chicken as a treat. Charles noticed little things about you–like if your eyes were bloodshot from crying or your gray hair was peaking through–and would inquire. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection this morning and wanted to shoot my shot here!
I was standing in line at D Light about 10:15 on Saturday (3/12) and started talking to this very cute girl, L. She was waiting on tea and pastries, (more…)
not the house in question just a house I really like (in Mount Pleasant.)
“Dear PoPville,
What’s your experience building a semi-custom / custom home in DC. I’m inheriting a family house from the 1920s. We’re interested in renovating to live in it. (more…)
