“Dear PoPville,

With the weather hopefully about to cool down, I was wondering if you could put out a call for all the best restaurants in DC that do soup really well. If there’s any places that soup is the main fare would even be better.”

Hopefully Fainting Goat returns with their masterpiece, “NO SOUP FOR YOU” soon. Personally I love the French Onion soup at Chez Billy Sud. Where are your favorite soups at?

“Is the new building owner responsible at all for raising my panels?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I just got a letter in the mail from DCRA notifying me that the house next door will be converted into a popup. This will block the sun from hitting my solar panels for at least half the day. Is the new building owner responsible at all for raising my panels? Or will I just expect to lose half my power generation?

Also, should I be concerned at all about their intention to excavate a basement and underpin our shared wall?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I am wondering if people have recommendations for companies that do residential outdoor seasonal decorations. My parents live in the area and are no longer spry enough to manage decorating the outside of their row home for the holidays. I think there are a lot of companies that handle the Christmas/winter holiday decorations but it would be great to find a company that also could manage Halloween decorations.”
