“Dear PoPville,
We recently had a baby and are looking for a nanny to help care for our baby girl. Would love get feedback about any good referrals, or agencies to help find a good nanny. We live in the West End.”

“Dear PoPville,
As an FYI, I’ve been repeatedly contacting DC Water and DOEEE about what the timeline for lead replacement of the main (and private) water lines are like in DC.
I’ve been contacted by contractors asking us to pay them >$15K to replace our private lead lines that come up to the house from the street. After some digging, I found that all public lead water lines are promised to be replaced by 2030 (and potentially many private lines), but the funding falls far short of getting it done anytime close to then.

“Dear PoPville,
I met him last Friday (March 4th) dancing at Madams Organ. I was more drunk than I’ve been in a few years (due to my college friend visiting and buying me drinks- I’m a habitual pre-drinker so this set my drink count off)- and we made out on the first floor. He had shoulder length brown hair and a great smile. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was taking a Capital Bikeshare last night when my phone died. When I got to the dock I noticed that the light didn’t turn green, but flashed red, yellow, green. I left it anyway because I feel like the dock sometimes doesn’t accept a bike for any number of reasons and I couldn’t get it back out.

“Dear PoPville,
I live on a narrow one way street. It’s just wide enough that two cars can slip by, but what often happens is some oblivious person or large truck idles in the street without pulling over far enough to let the cars behind around. This leads to everyone in the back incessantly honking their horns, (more…)

Flashlights strobing all through my windows and between my two buildings at 18th and Wyoming (Streets, NW) on 2 separate occasions late last night. Any idea what that might have been? It was alarming.”

“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,
We live across the street from a construction site that regularly replaces their overfilled dumpster before 6 AM. I’ve learned firsthand that the whole process is more complicated and takes longer than it seems. When I last complained to the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, their response was “Hello, The results of this inspection on (1/6/22) was “No violation”, being Superintendent stated the dumpster has been there a month and not switched out, because it’s not full yet.”
How is that a response to my claim + picture proof (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My mom recently moved to DC from the west coast to be closer to her grandchildren. Unsurprisingly, thanks to the winter and the pandemic, making new friends hasn’t been easy. (more…)
