“Dear PoPville,
This is my experience with an iPhone upgrade.
When you transfer your iPhone, everything seems to transfer. However, the SmarTrip card didn’t transfer and I didn’t notice until after I deleted it and traded it in.

“Dear PoPville,
Lol can’t believe I’m doing this but deciding to submit a missed connection because our dogs love each other – we both live in Navy Yard and have golden retrievers, his golden’s name is Sampson and every time our dogs see each other they must play… think you could help me find Sampson’s dad?
Have been too shy during all of our meetings!”

For those curious about past missed connections, many have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.

“Dear PoPville,
What are folks with a private garage/driveway doing for level 2 EV charging? We’re getting a Hybrid Pacifica and want to install a Level 2 charger. I know there are a bunch of posts on PoPville re street charging, but we have our own parking spot. Would love to hear from others on what brand of charger they use, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I have accepted a job in France next year and will need to start taking French classes ASAP. I would prefer to take them virtually at this moment and was looking for some recommendations of schools /tutors. I saw a few places in D.C. (French Academy, ICLS) but looking to see if anyone can recommend a school or had a good experience? Merci!”
“Dear PoPville,
I live in Navy Yard, and found an envelope in my mail from Veterans Affairs addressed to someone in Wisconsin (photo attached). I just dropped it back in the outgoing mail slot (it was prepaid postage), but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced such egregiously misdelivered mail?”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m a professional baker and I recently started a small neighborhood bakery in Petworth specializing in breads and Ashkenazi Jewish treats. Since we’re heading into the cold winter months, I thought your readers might be interested in stocking up some carbs. Plus, it’s an unconventional business model.
The business is called Velvel Breads and it functions like a CSA — customers buy a month of bread upfront, then get to pick up a loaf each week. Currently, I offer sourdough loaves on Wednesdays and challah loaves on Fridays, with the option for customers to add on different treats each week (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was just diagnosed with COVID-19 and therefore won’t be able to travel to see my family for the week as I had planned. I will most likely be FaceTiming in for Christmas Eve dinner and/or Christmas Day lunch. I live alone and would still like to enjoy the holiday with a nice meal. Does anyone know of any restaurants still accepting Christmas Eve / Christmas Day orders and deliveries? Especially for just one person or in smaller quantities? Thank you!!!”
and another reader asked last night: “just cancelled my holiday travel plans so looks like I will be dining solo in DC. Know of any restaurants doing to-go meals for 1 (pick up 12/24)?? I’ve only been able to find options for 2+ people. Thanks!”

“Dear PoPville,
Even as the cloud of covid descends upon us again I cannot handle the idea of letting January 6th pass us by without a solemn recognition of the continuing threats to democracy in America. Are there any dc groups organizing events? I’d love to support them with my time/$$$ and presence. Clearly something outdoors and masked is prudent. (more…)
