“Dear PoPville,
At my wits end here so hopefully someone can help. From NE area and our neighbors and I are having a problem with someone parking their fed government car on our street then hoping back in their personal vehicle (with out of states tags) and leaving. The person does not live in the neighborhood, and the vehicle is left for weeks sometime months in the same spot with no movement. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Without warning, DDOT removed a dying tree from our tree box and in the process destroyed the brickwork that bordered the tree box area. This brickwork design is used for all the tree boxes along the 1000 k st ne block. A previous resident paid for all these designs. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We have solar power and produce more than we use. There is some meter glitch with Pepco and they started sending backdated bills for estimated usage (pre-solar!) a couple of weeks ago in excess of $500. Can your readers help advise?”
“Dear PoPville,
I have a 5 year old son with special needs. We had his IEP meeting August 9th where he was switched from a general classroom to a special education classroom. We were told that DC would be in touch with telling us his placement of school, since our local neighborhood school does not have special ed classrooms. Today is 8/29, the 4th day of school – and my kiddo still does not have a placement. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know why the city is putting in these lights that are impossible to see in sunlight? They seem to be appearing more and more despite this (massive) problem.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
On Monday August 19th, a friend met up with me at Easy Tiger Tavern in Adams Morgan to bring me my blue tote bag of French vinyls; the first of many bad decisions that evening. From there I went to Bedrock, Grand Duchess, Marx Cafe, and then dinner at Don Juan’s at around 1:30 AM. At this point, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We live on the 700 block of Harvard St NW. Tues, Aug 13th was the last time house hold trash was picked up along the entire block. We spoke with our neighbors on the 700 block of Hobart Pl NW and they have also missed 3 pickups. DPW is not responding to tickets or issuing any word as to what is going on.
