We went out to our car today and found that someone had put a bunch of dog (hopefully?) poop under both of our door handles, passenger and driver side. This happened on Ontario Rd near the Harris Teeter in Adams Morgan. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Is there a limit on how long portable moving containers can occupy a parking space? The one in the attached photo has been the corner of New Hampshire Avenue and T Street NW for several months.”

1415 P Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to let the PoPville community know that New Vegas Lounge reopened on P St NW! The band is absolutely unreal. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Kind of can’t believe I’m actually sending this in, but worth a shot. I was walking out of the CVS at 10th and L NW (Friday), (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This is a bit long, but I’m reaching out to you about the water pipes in DC in hopes that a fellow Washingtonian might have successfully resolved a similar issue and could offer some guidance! As we hear from the water reports, DC Water has high standards for tap water, drinking straight out of the sink faucet is encouraged. DC Water provides annual water quality results, but data collection sample location is not clear. We stopped drinking the water because of the elevated iron levels. To “mitigate” the situation, DC Water flushes the main hydrant by our house multiple times a week to improve the iron (and chlorine levels), it doesn’t appear any solution such as replacement of corroded pipes (the culprit) will come in our lifetime. We don’t drink or cook with tap water and spend $300+ monthly on water delivery on top of the water consumption for laundry, showers etc. Below is the (long-ish) backstory, I hope to receive some much needed guidance!

“Dear PoPville,
My basement is flooding (again) due to this rain. Looking for highly recommended construction folks that can help fix this? I only got about 4 gallons into my basement which is not too bad. Thinking it could be coming from perhaps a leak in a water line or something. Not entirely sure.”

After my assignment last night, I found out one of my tires has TWO nails in it! Is it just me, PoPville? Or is anyone else noticing an epidemic of nails in tires this year?”

“Dear PoPville,
My husband just had a frustrating experience getting his Moderna booster so I thought I would pass along as a warning. He had an appointment at the CVS at Eastern Market for this afternoon. When he showed up for his appointment he was told they ran out of doses and did not know when they would be receiving more. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We were in front of you in the line to see Lucy Dacus when you complimented my bff’s oppossum purse. Tell me the band she recommended to you and help me get her a better birthday gift than a trip to ARTECHOUSE–your number!!”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for advice re: unemployment claims. I was fired from my job on 8/13. I applied for unemployment on 8/15 and was approved for benefits starting on 8/8.
Each week I fill out the same form where I let the office of unemployment know that I’ve been looking for work so I’m still eligible for benefits.
This question is on each form:
“Did you refuse work, quit a job, or were you discharged from a job during the week claimed?”
The first form I filled out was for the last week of my job (8/9-8/13). So I said “yes”. Because I WAS discharged from that job. I don’t know how else to interpret this sentence.
I’m so confused!!! (more…)
