“Dear PoPville,

I was walking my dog on the trail near Peirce Mill yesterday (Wednesday) around 4pm when a guy stopped straight in the middle of his run to ask if my pup was a TWC (Treeing Walker hound — yes, he is!).

Some drivers come to an immediate stop once they turn right onto Georgia Ave, which angers drivers behind them, and I’ve seen some of those angry drivers speed around the stopped cars (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

Is it me, or do there seem to be more abandoned shopping carts all around the city? I keep finding empty/abandoned carts all over NE and NW. But especially in the vicinity of the Giant at City Market (though I keep finding their carts ten blocks away). Some recent pictures of carts randomly scattered around the city.” (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

I bought this painting of a group of rowhouses at Miss Pixies about 17 years ago — back when the store was in Adams Morgan. Since then, I have wondered off and on about what street it shows. I assume it’s a DC street, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I hobbled to the Capitals v. Calgary game on Saturday October 23rd with my buddy from out of town. We sat down in Section 202, Row C; I noticed you sitting in the row in front of us. (more…)
