“Dear PoPville,
My letter carrier has taken to hanging my mail on my fence which causes it to fall all over the public sidewalk and get lost, stolen, or blown away. My mail slot is in my door, and for the past decade I’ve lived in this house no letter carrier has ever had any trouble delivering the mail. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m trying to find a new class/skill/outlet for myself in 2022 and I’m starting from a blank slate. I bet others have some creative ideas I haven’t thought of, beyond guitar lessons and barre class. Hoping to find something after 5pm and in DC (not far out burbs). Glassblowing? Welding? Animal husbandry? Bouldering? Or perhaps a volunteer opportunity instead of a course?”
“Dear PoPville,
My condo is made up of about 40% owners and 60% owned by a privately owned real estate investment company that rents out their units. Unfortunately that means when it comes to our condo association, individual owners have no voting power.
In 2019, the condo board (run by the investment company) increased our HOAs by 10% and charged a large special assessment that was 50% of annual dues. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if anyone has advice for a situation when family members, non-residents, might be in need of a COVID test? I will be seeing them for the first time in two years and I want to make sure I’m prepared for anything! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping you could put out a PSA about Chicatana, a new restaurant on 14th St NW? It always is empty despite having the best Mexican food in DC and lovely staff. I would love to see them get more customers”
Check out their menu here.

“Dear PoPville,
STOP with Rat Poisoning: even small amounts kills dogs and other animals like squirrels, birds, and other wildlife….DO NOT put out green rat poison pellets, the rats carry them to other people’s yards and even trace amounts can be lethal to wildlife and our pets! We all want mice gone, but not at the expense of killing other harmless animals and our beloved pets. If you are putting it out, STOP and if you know others who are, please spread the word….let’s all use the HUMANE way to abate mice, put out traps and/or call 311 to talk to the rodent control they will help with finding burrows and making sure we take care of the problem the ethical way without selfishly and unethically killing our fur-babies! FYI – Glue Traps are also harmful as birds can fly into them and lose their wings. (more…)
