“Dear PoPville,
I know the Giant at 3rd & H has had issues of credit card tampering / fraud / copying in the past and I shopped there on monday and now my card has received a few fraudulent charges at local establishments this week that I did not shop at or visit. Coincidence?! I think not.”

“Dear PoPville,
This really bummed me out this morning and when I went back by on my walk back home, I saw a kind gentleman sweeping up the area. I originally thought he was the nearby homeowner but saw him leave with the broom and walk back down the block. It turns out he’s just a good Samaritan doing the right thing in stark contrast to the person who hit the car and drove off.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I, wearing a Cleveland Browns jersey, passed by the most attractive man ever on the corner of I St NW & 5th today (Sunday), 3 Oct around noon. We smiled at one another & he said “go Browns!” I had a mini heart attack at the time and just smiled back, but I 100% regret not asking him to watch the game with me. Hoping you’ll post this & he’ll see it so we can connect!”

Where in the DMV besides Midlands and Dacha Navy Yard can I drink beer (or an alcohol or two), watch football, and bring my dog? Bonus points if it’s a brewery.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m from farther north on the east coast, and chicken salad has always been its own food group for me. Since moving to DC four years ago, I haven’t been able to find good chicken salad. I feel like I’ve tried everywhere. Can we crowd source some really good options?”

“Dear PoPville,
I was parallel parking on Swann Street, NW last Friday, 9/24 around 6 pm. You saw me struggling to parallel park my car and offered to park it for me. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My local CVS (H street ne) is out of control busy. Ive gotten into the habit of calling and asking for a rush every time I have a scrips to pick up. Yesterday I waited for over an hour and no one picked up. The in person wait was also almost an hour and left empty handed.
Is this everywhere? This morning I came back to finally get my script and asked the tech if there’s a less busy location, she rolled her eyes and laughed saying H street is one of the best.
Should I try a mom and pop pharmacist? Should I give up and try to order my meds online?”

“Dear PoPville,
I have a question regarding turning left if you are in the intersection when the light is green, but you are unable to turn until the light turns red.
This afternoon, I was turning left onto West Virginia Avenue NE from Mt. Olivet Rd. NE when the light turned red before I was able to complete the turn. I initially entered the intersection when the light was green, as many people do, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass and to allow those behind me to continue going straight. (more…)
