“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I just bought a house on Quackenbos Street.
There is a point of contention: Is it pronounced quack-en-BOSS or quack-en-BOSE? We’ve heard both pronunciations and Google isn’t giving a well-cited answer.

“Dear PoPville,
Last week, several residents (in Adams Morgan) were woken up in the wee hours by a ferocious commotion: dog/owner rat patrol. You have likely read in the Washington Post about this group in Adams Morgan that goes out at night as a cadre and siccs their dogs on the local rats.

Public Service Announcement:
On March 26 we mailed our $5,000.00 real property tax payment check to the venue assigned by OTR which is a PO Box in Philadelphia. On April 6th I saw the check was deposited into a personal bank account. Someone had altered the payable from DC Treasurer to a personal name. Our bank is investigating and OTR notified, but now we’re subject to a late fee.”

I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experience and could give a recommendation? Thanks so much!”
ICYMI last week: “Street Sweeping Rant”
“Dear PoPville,
Since street sweeping has resumed they are doing a horrible job. I live in the 5200 block of Hamilton street across from the school here and the street sweepers zoom by like they are in a rush to go home from work. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,

CRAZY ass guy wearing a hospital gown and no shoes or pants crossing the street IN THE RAIN and traffic to the bus stop, gets ON and then once he sits down starts pulling off his various IV patches and other things, then his gown..

“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday evening (March 10th), at some point during a work happy hour at Le DeSales in Dupont and my walk back to Georgetown on M St. (from 18th St. until 30th Street), I lost the cross off my silver crucifix necklace, which I have had since my first communion. (more…)
