“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for recommendations for dry-cleaners. Specifically, any that specialize in smells. I have a good daily one, love them (shout out to Q n Q on V St) but I have a thrifted vintage item that has some serious storage funk that could probably use some extra special love and attention. I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experience and could give a recommendation? Thanks so much!”

“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what the scoop is on the fate of the Rock Creek Tennis Center? I was playing there and learned that the management contract expired on Saturday 2/28 with no new contract in sight. This means that as of Sunday, March 1, all classes and clinics are canceled; coaches and contractors lose their jobs; and court access is suspended. At least that’s what the staff told me. They know nothing about what happens next. Do you?”
“Dear PoPville,
I can confirm that prices have suddenly skyrocketed 2x-5x. I have already paid almost $2000 dollars in 2026. At the pace I’m going (see attached), I’ll be looking at $10,000 this year.
