Ed. Note: If either of these are you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. For those curious about past missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to reach out about a possible missed connection this morning in the Dupont metro platform. We were sitting on opposite platforms facing each other this morning at around 8am or 8:15 am. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m specifically looking for a good eyebrow waxing place in NW, but all waxing suggestions welcome! I’ve been going to a center in Dupont for several years but they have incredibly high turnover which makes it hard to find a good and reliable person to see there.”

“Dear PoPville,
I have a friend from Afghanistan who wants to experience a Baked Alaska. He saw it in the show Catch-22. Does anyone know of a place in DC where he can experience it?”
“Dear PoPville,
I just moved into a new building a month ago and for the past few weeks (but amped up a LOT this week) there has been constant construction on a new restaurant going into the building on the first floor right next door.
The construction starts before 8am every day and wakes me up and it’s difficult to work from home (which my company does full time still) as it’s near constant drilling and banging. I live on the third floor but it sounds like it’s right next to me it’s so loud. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I got into a car crash on 7th St NW Wednesday night (At M and 7th NW by the Mt Vernon metro), and a woman tried to comfort me as we waited on police/ambulance. I didn’t get her name because I was disoriented and going in/out, but I just wanted to tell her thank you. If you could put me in touch with her, I’d love to buy her coffee one day.”
If you are this good samaritan please email me at [email protected] so I can put you in touch.

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection on Friday (July 30) on the metro and in DCA, and I thought I’d give it a shot here. I kept running into the same twenty-some military man with brown hair wearing a hat with a last name that starts with C. We exchanged many glances on the red line, in Metro Center Station, the blue line, and then (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Do readers have recommendations for “reasonably priced” interior decorators that work on smaller jobs or at an hourly rate? I’m not looking for high-end or custom items, but someone who can help me select and arrange items for my living room, breakfast bar and walls. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I have a question about the car sharing service Free to Move. (The one-way car share company — similar to Car2Go). Are you allowed to use one to drive from DC to northern Virginia? (Assuming I follow all parking rules correctly and stay inside the “home zone.”) I have used it only a handful of times within DC and they’re great. However, I’ve been nervous to use one to cross into Nova and then get there and have an issue ending the trip. I called their customer service line to ask, but the answer I got was a bit vague, so I just wanted to confirm if others have done this and if it’s OK.”
