Could you ask for interior painter recommendations? I saw a post from about 2 years ago but nothing more recent.”

“Dear PoPville,
I can’t be the only one that’s been getting tickets because of all of the new traffic cameras. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Spotted at Potomac and K SE. At first glance I thought some intrepid soul had endeavored to make a speed camera more noticeable, but nope, it’s just a (paper maché? duct tape?) penguin. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This weekend I called 911 for someone passed out in front of my boyfriend’s apartment building in DC. They were breathing but more slowly and had blood on their face. The 911 operator, when learning that the person was not responsive to my voice, told me that I should start CPR. Now, I’m a former EMT – I know this person didn’t need CPR, they were clearly breathing. I told the operator on the line that CPR wouldn’t be necessary and I also am not comfortable performing it without having gloves given the blood on the person. In response, the operator said, “just to let you know, this is a recorded line, so are you declining to perform CPR?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m seeking recommendations from the community for a medspa/facility that does colonics/colon hydrotherapy. This seems to be oddly difficult to find in the area. Thanks!”

“Dear PoPville,
On Monday (7/29) around 9:10 pm, I was biking on the MBT alone and came across a group of teenagers on the path. I wasn’t able to pass so I was biking behind them but the group stopped walking and a few guys slowly walked toward me asking for directions. They grabbed me and tried to take my belongings but another biker came shortly after and scared them away. A huge thank you to the man who was biking on the MBT Monday night and made sure I was ok! And a reminder to everyone else to be cautious and alert!“

“Thank you to the woman in georgetown who generously paid for my parking this morning so I could make it to my running group. This was my first major run after nearly 5 months of PT and I don’t know if she realized how important this was to me.”

“Dear PoPville,
Any idea if the Little Vietnam folks are ever reopening? It seems their Instagram is gone.” (more…)
