“Dear PoPville,
Saw this tonight on my evening stroll. It’s docked at the bridge on 31st between K and M St. NW, and was NOT there midday today (Sunday). Crazy!! Would love to know the backstory on how it got there and what’s next for it” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I have a stack of unneeded SmartTrip cards. I know Martha’s Table no longer accepts these as donations, but I can’t find any information on how to safely recycle them? Any tips, or other orgs suggestions?”

“Dear PoPville,
One of my bosses is leaving. My other boss wants to find an outdoor bar, with dancing, somewhere near a metro for the farewell (with all vaccinated people). Yes, this is a difficult ask. Also yes, this will be an incredibly awkward bar hang. Can your readers help me identify some places that won’t make me cringe too much?”

“Dear PoPville,
The pandemic has been hard on all of us and our bodies. I want to work out again, but I am so out of shape after being locked inside for a year and a half. Are there any DC gyms or work out classes that are aimed at helping people get back into it after being vaccinated?”
“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone successfully used the walk-in hours at the DMV? It’s on the DMV website and 311 confirmed they are happening but I am wondering if the lines are hours long or if only they only service a limited number of people per day. Asking as I would need to take off work to go this Sunday.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was standing on the corner of 16th and Irving St, NW waiting to cross the street and a very fit, very shirtless runner made devastating eye contact as he passed me by. I swear he slowed down just a little bit. Would love to exchange tips on preferred running routes etc. etc.”

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to send out a quick alert/heads up to readers: I live in a multi-unit Condo building in NW DC (across from Malcom X Park) and all of our front doors have direct access to the outside. This morning (7/9) our neighbor text us to say someone claiming they were from the Washington Gas Company knocked on her door to say there was a gas leak in the building.
None of our other neighbors got a knock on their door from the gas company and the neighbor who did get the alert wasn’t asked to evacuate. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Can the hive mind confirm that this is absolutely shenanigans? On 19th and T there is a renovation where there is a dumpster and (at least) two parking spaces coned off, apparently 24 hours a day for 6 months. Whatever – if you’ve got the permits, do your thing, but I think that actually they don’t have the permits. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My fiance and I are considering having a food truck to cater our wedding reception. Would you be able to post a query to the PoPville populace on any experiences they’ve had with local food trucks at weddings in the DMV? I appreciate this post from 2019, and it’d be great to hear of any more recent experiences.”
