“Dear PoPville,
I was sitting with a buddy in Ted’s on 14th for lunch today (Friday), and this girl was at table across the aisle facing in my direction. I think we were making eyes at each other (at least I was), but I wasn’t about to interrupt her lunch Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if anyone knows of restaurants in DC that deliver for single portion thanksgiving meals. I work in a hospital and will be working over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I see many places that are taking orders for larger groups, but it is just me and I don’t want to miss out.”

“Dear PoPville,

Adam Nathaniel Peck writes earlier this morning: “Wasting absolutely no time, a woman bursts into Compass Coffee unmasked, and is insistent that the mask mandate is lifted as of today (it isn’t) when gently asked to put one on (she doesn’t).

“Dear PoPville,
Here’s a new one. I’m used to having my card number skimmed at various places but this situation takes the cake. I’ve been waiting for a new credit card to arrive in the mail but never got it. Yesterday I received a notification that a purchase at the Sunoco two blocks from me Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I’m trying to find places to rent a small amount of tables and chairs for hosting Thanksgiving. Just hoping I don’t have to make my mother in law eat on the couch.”
