“Dear PoPville,
I’m on the hunt for the best streets/neighborhoods to walk around and enjoy the Christmas lights. I’d love to know if people have any suggestions based on what they’ve seen so far this year.”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in an Hoa community and own my condo, the place has been neglected by just about every management who took over, we are paying for projects after projects that have been approved but they are not doing it. What can be done about this problem which costs a lot of money is somewhere low-cost help?”
Is something the Office of the Tenant Advocate can help with or do they only do rentals?
“Dear PoPville,
245pm Friday.
While Amazon was delivering packages on the 1000 block of Quebec Place NW, a police officer pulled up behind him.
The officer told the Amazon driver that he was responding to a call from a resident on the block who reported that thieves dumped an Amazon “tote” delivery cart full of packages behind their house.

The driver called his Amazon manager. The Amazon Manager said they cannot take the packages back, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am writing hoping that someone can recommend a good, reliable nail salon. I have been in DC for about 2.5 years but I have yet to find a place I am consistently happy with.
I don’t need anything crazy- I get gel polish every 3-4 weeks on my natural nails and the occasional pedicure. I’d ideally spend $30-$40 on the gel mani. I live in Chevy Chase DC but am willing to drive up to 20ish minutes for a good spot!
Please recommend nail salons and/or specific nail tech please!!”

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…)
