“Dear PoPville,
I recently saw this post and I’m pretty sure I encountered the same person in late March.
I was walking my dog on the sidewalk in Kalorama when I noticed a shirtless man get out of his car and walk toward the sidewalk. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
What’s going on with Capital One Arena? How come so many artists are choosing CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore over the 6,000 extra seats at CapOne that has incredibly easy access?”
