“Dear PoPville,
They are finally going to get repaired! At least we think so. A permit was issued by the city to complete the project. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A woman in a red Jeep with Virgina tags pulled out in front of me as I was cycling north on 14th Street NW in the bike lane (Thursday around 5:30pm). She turned off of Wallach onto 14th Street NW and then proceeded to stop in the bike lane as if to park. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
This is view looking east towards 18th & Columbia Rd @ heart of AM. Sun Trust building would be to your right.
The car that hit Nina Larson came across 18th & Columbia (towards the picture taker).
The city put up flashing crosswalk signs (which helps).
However, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m sending my heartfelt thanks to the kind man who helped me when I nearly fainted on the corner of Florida Ave. and T Street Wednesday about 7pm. He gave me his bottle of water and made sure I was okay. Chivalry is alive in DC.”
Thanks to M. for sending from the Adams Morgan Foxtrot. I also noticed a few other Foxtrots around town still had lots of food on their shelves…
Foxtrots around DC abruptly closed back on April 23rd.
“Dear PoPville,
I wrote a lot below so the TL;DR is the coffee date predator is still out there in the Dupont/Logan Circle area, giving the same spiel about being new to the area from NYC, giving a compliment, and asking to get coffee sometime. I’ve encountered him twice, almost 2 years apart.
I know you’ve posted about this guy quite a few times but I wanted to let the community know that the coffee date predator “from NYC and new to the area” is still at large and on the hunt for seemingly his next victim.
I first encountered him almost exactly 2 years ago, May 2022. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Do you have any information on why roads all around Adams Morgan near Kalorama Triangle are restricted for parking?
It’s typical for small stretches of parking to be restricted for several days or longer, but for the past several weeks, large areas of most streets all over my neighborhood (Kalorama/Columbia/Belmont and surrounding roads) have been blocked. It’s becoming very difficult to find a parking space anywhere because. On any given day, 30-40% of roads have been restricted from parking with no explanation other than city ordinance.
Here are some photos as well as a map of the neighborhood with areas that have been blocked off over the past ~2 weeks on and off marked in red. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to ask for advice from longterm DMV residents who might know a thing or two about waging a war against both rats and corporate landlords. I live in an apartment building that has an ongoing rat infestation; our community message board is blowing up with posts from tenants on every floor (in a ten-story building!) talking about dealing with rats in their apartments and in community spaces. We’ve had posts about rats scratching in the walls at night, chewing holes through the walls, being sighted in apartments and common spaces like the laundry room, gym, and elevators, coming up through sinks and chewing through rubber gaskets (!), even posts about rats getting stuck in the AC units, dying, and then rotting. Our management’s response has been tepid at best. Back in May, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if anyone knows anything about an older lady who sits on the corner of 10th and Massachusetts ave every evening starting around 6-7pm and just screams at anyone walking by? She sits on the steps on the side of the Cato Institute.”

“Dear PoPville,
A thought experiment really – to deter package theft. Cameras are useless because the police won’t, (and realistically probably can’t) do anything about it, but surely some creative engineer-type person could (more…)
