“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to send a PSA about DC public COVID testing sites – while the results often take several days to be emailed to you by DC Health, my friends and I with LabCorp patient portals have found that the results often come just hours after taking the test. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I sat across the aisle from a strapping young man named Nate on my Alaska flight from LAX to DCA on Sunday, September 12. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you had heard anything about the thefts of catalytic converters from Prius in NW DC. Apparently the rare Earth metals in the converters have led to an increase in the thefts, including three on our block one night last week (including ours.) I hadn’t heard of this being an issue in a long time but apparently it’s on the rise. There’s a relatively inexpensive fix (compared to getting a new converter) a shield you can purchase.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was on a walk through Malcolm X park this morning (Saturday Sept 11) around 11:15 and passed a woman in a Maryland Terps hat in walking in the opposite direction a few times, making eye contact and smiling a few times.
If you are her….same time again tomorrow? Maybe we can take a few laps together.

“Dear PoPville,
It seems like the crazies are coming again this Saturday. After what happened on January 6th, I feel like it’s our responsibility as residents of DC to communicate to the crazies how we feel about them bringing the circus to town. I would love to join a counter protest or a demonstration that expresses how unwelcome their cult is in DC. (more…)
Will asks: “Any suggestions on what to do when two cars egregiously box you in (specifically looking at you black Toyota Camry) to the point where you can’t move your car an inch? Haven’t been able to drive to work the past two days because of this.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Hi! I’m craving potato skins and wondering if people have any recs on where the best place to get them is in DC? Thanks!!”
RIP TGIF, where’s the go to these days?
“Dear PoPville,
I’m in the midst of a weird situation with Uber – wanted to alert others/see if this has happened to anyone else. Called an Uber this morning in DC, driver texted through the app and said he needed a pin/passcode that would be texted to start the ride. I had heard about Uber’s new safety pin feature- got the text, shared the pin. Then, the driver messaged back and apologized and said he needed the pin that got sent to my email b/c the first one expired.
I went into my email, got the pin. Then, we noticed the driver was not moving, so we messaged him back. No answer. Then we called the number in the app. Disconnected. Cancelled ride several times. Driver repeatedly accepted again (same driver). Then, I got kicked out of the app. Logged in, could not change it. My phone number was changed to a foreign number. Tried to reset password via the website, and lo and behold I cannot because the driver activated two step verification on my account, and all the notifications go to him. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
You were on the orange/silver line between Foggy Bottom and courthouse at around 9:15pm on Friday 9/10. We were the only two people reading physical books on the train (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live next to Williams Alley in Columbia Heights. A month ago contractors tore up the very nice brick paving in the alleyway in order to install what I assume to be fiber optic cable. They replaced the brick paving with extremely shoddily installed asphalt (see picture). (more…)
