“Dear PoPville,
In Sept, my wife and I were able to to ID fraudulent unemployment claims submitted in our names. I wanted to let you know that I reached out to CM Lewis-George and CM Silverman to highlight this issue and to describe the (frankly) insane remediation process. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Are there organizations that are actually short-staffed for their Thanksgiving events? So many organizations seem to have as much or more help than they need. But perhaps some smaller or less well-known organizations could use some help?”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m at a loss for what to do. Has anyone ever written in about what they’ve done when their wheels were stolen off their car? (more…)

“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 (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,
I’ve heard rumors that this has begun happening to others as well.
On Saturday, 11/13 I was out at lunch with a few friends in Adams Morgan. Around 3pm I called an Uber, as I’ve done dozens of times in DC and across the country. I was going to another friend’s surprise birthday party and running very late. Uber promptly connected me to a driver that was 3 minutes away and I thought ‘great that’s convenient maybe I’ll make this party on time!’ After waiting a few minutes, I checked my Uber app and I saw that I had a message from the driver requesting my phone number. I gave it to him, not thinking that it was odd the driver was not calling me through the app as usual. (more…)
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). It’s been 18 months people, the least you can do is wait 2 more days sheesh.”
