“Dear PoPville,
I recently bought a 1912 rowhouse in Columbia Heights and the owner/realtor didn’t know much about its fireplace. When I got a chimney/fireplace inspector out here, he discovered (while on the roof) that there was no chimney! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
So an elderly woman who lives alone on our block became trapped in her house this week, with her cell phone out of reach, but thank goodness a neighbor heard her, was able to talk to her through her mail slot, and called the Fire Department to help get her out since they could not get the door open. Fortunately, she was fine–but this made me think about another elderly woman who also lives alone in the house right next to our house.
Our nextdoor neighbor is very reclusive and does not come out much except to go to the grocery store periodically, seemingly has no friends or family, and her house honestly looks like no one lives there (which is what we assumed when we first moved in, until we saw her come out one day to walk to the grocery store). My husband and I have tried to be friendly when we see her, offered to carry her groceries up her steps (though she always declines), and always try to say hi.
So…it occurs to me that we have not seen her in a while. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Wednesday, late afternoon, he (in a beige colored beanie and black jacket?) was crossing (but more like J walking…) the street in front of Le Diplomate with a friend. I, pulling up to the red light in my car, late for my yoga class and flustered wearing a red zip up, looked up and caught his gaze as he tried to determine if I was going to stop and let them cross or not.

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone have advice on how to handle this situation? 8+ weeks ago I went to the Georgetown DMV to get a drivers license. Brought all the necessary paperwork, posed for the photo, paid, etc.
It still has not arrived via mail to my home (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for a local service that could deliver charcuterie/cheese boards (ideally, they would be able to provide a monthly subscription box service). I’d love to give this as a Christmas gift for a friend.
Thanks!!”

“Dear PoPville,
I was giving out candy on the front stoop of my giant apartment building in Mt. Pleasant on Sunday night, and a very good looking guy walked by and commented on how nice it was that I was sitting out there for trick or treaters. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I got a parking ticket today in Georgetown because of expired tags. I got a new car in June and wanted to transfer my old tags to the new car. The tag transfer process was held up because of a “fee error” by the DMV in early Aug (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I are expecting our first baby 12/3. Naturally, this seemed like the right time for a mega home renovation…(le sigh). Unfortunately, we won’t have a functioning kitchen or an oven until some time in January. (more…)

Running by the Capitol on Saturday. Me wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt and black leggings. You, a tall handsome gentlemen out for a run. You commented on my shirt and the beautiful weather. We should have run together. Maybe next time?”
