“Dear PoPville,
I recently failed the DC inspection due to the check engine light being on. I have an old Volvo, and even though the auto shop did a full check and reset the sensors, the light turned on again shortly after driving off. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection at The Salt Line in Navy Yard last Saturday night (7/24) and thought I’d give it a shot and put it on here. I was sitting at the outdoor bar with friends, he was standing in a group behind us. When I heard someone yell “Live Free or Die” I turned around and abruptly blurted out “are you talking about New Hampshire?” (I don’t meet many other people from my weird little state down here.)

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if the community knew of local orgs/groups that forage from city fruit trees. There’s a pear tree in our alley in NW and every summer the fruit goes to waste — or at least until the squirrels and rats get to them.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been watching the Tokyo Olympics nonstop at home but want to watch out with a group. Do you know of any bars that show the games with sound?“

“Dear PoPville,
Some fellow new moms and I are looking for recommendations for a Mamas’ Night Out (very much WITHOUT the babies!)

There is a young male who walks around the neighborhood on a regular basis, usually asking for money every now and then and sometimes carries a black backpack.

I have noticed him around a lot more now after an interaction I had with him last week. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m attending a bachelorette party in DC (convenient) and am looking to pass along some bar recommendations to the people planning it.
In this post-Covid world, what are some fun bars to go to? Not looking for a “club”- ideally a bar with a DJ or fun music, maybe even some dancing? Does that still exist? Bonus points for places in NW!”
“Dear PoPville,
Been very inspired by the Olympics, does anyone know where you can play beginner badminton in DC?
Or, alternatively, any cycling races coming up?“
“Dear PoPville,
File this under “People are Awesome” stories. Me and the fam were caught in the storm tonight while driving in Adams Morgan. On Mozart Place, about 50 feet before the intersection with Columbia Road, a chain link construction fence blew over, falling over our car in a wave. It was jarring but we weren’t in danger. The storm was a rager so we figured we’d just wait it out and push the fence back up when things calmed down.
Within a couple minutes, (more…)
