“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if anyone else in DC has run into this issue with their property management. My building (managed by JBG Smith) uses a third party biller to charge for utilities called Conservice. The third party biller is disclosed in the lease, however, the fees they charge are not – I was charged (more…)
From the DMV: “Residents now have until September 9, 2021 to renew their expired driver licenses and identification (ID) cards. After September 9, 2021, re-testing will be required for all driver licenses that have been expired for more than 365 days.”
“Dear PoPville,
I had to visit the DC DMV to convert my recently expired DC drivers license to a valid Real ID. This is a task that can’t be done online. I was frankly dreading it and put it off a bunch of times before I finally sucked it up and went — and it was totally fine! I mention this for others who may be holding off after feeling a doomed sense of horror including seeing hundreds of people in line recently at a DC DMV.
Anyway — I arrived around 10 a.m. at the Georgetown DMV. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection at the Maxwell Park wine bar in Shaw on Wednesday, August 25 in the early evening. There was a woman who was wearing a white top and black denim shorts having a drink with a friend. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
We’ve had the most frustrating week trying to change our gas service and appears that we aren’t alone in this quest. Literally haven’t been able to speak to a human being in days. It’s unreal so many are going without gas in a major city like DC.” (more…)
Thanks to Julia for passing on the petition:
“As parents and caregivers, we are thrilled that Mayor Bowser mandated vaccination against COVID-19 for all DC government employees including DCPS teachers and staff, but we feel the requirement falls short in protecting children in other childcare settings, particularly DC daycare facilities. We call upon the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) and Mayor Muriel Bowser to expand the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirement to include all licensed childcare providers.

Thanks to RT for sending “Dubai scam—Just wanted to alert you and all those that read your site…they are BACK! On a ramp getting on to the Beltway off of Greenbelt Road… probably considered Berwyn Heights Maryland.”
“Dear PoPville,
Found at Dulles airport this morning (Thursday), a Continental Airlines 737. Not sure where someone dug this up from; but pretty sure there had not been a Continental flight in over a decade. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was at the Whiskey Charlie bar on top of the Canopy hotel in SW on Friday 8/20….met this beautiful man outside and we chatted for about 15 minutes while I waited for my uber and he waited for his friends. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Call me crazy, but I think it’s unconscionable that business owners in DC are legally permitted to refuse entry to customers who are unmasked, but DC renters apparently do not have the same right when it comes to landlords or contractors entering apartments unmasked for non-emergency repairs.
A month ago, a plumber showed up to fix a leaky faucet and refused to wear a mask, claiming, “I’m vaccinated.”
Our neighbor had 2 contractors show up unmasked. When asked to wear masks they reluctantly complied, but after 10 minutes into the job they pulled them down to their chins. And last week, a team of contractors arrived for a half-day job inside a studio apartment with the occupant at home, and none of them was masked.
We all felt unsafe, but we weren’t sure of our rights and worried that if we refused them entry, our LL might charge us for the service calls, which he is known to do. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea why the Capitol Stones have been blocked off from pedestrian access all of the sudden? There is a metal fence surrounding them and a “DANGER” sign. (more…)
