“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to give a shout out and HUGE thank you to the young woman who helped me rescue a stray kitten that was hit by a car on Wednesday night around 14th and Shepherd St NW!
I was walking my friend’s dog and she happened to be going by on her bike, when all of a sudden (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Free2Move and I broke up at long last. They even threw me back into the arms of my ridiculous ex, Zipcar. I hadn’t used Zipcar in close to two years because of its limitations. You have to reserve for a specific amount of time and return on time or face a fine. Worse, you can’t just park it wherever you wish, but return it where you got it. Those were dealbreakers back when Free2Move and I decided to date each other exclusively.

“Dear PoPville,
I live in a building that backs into an alley with a community garden with a MAJOR rat problem. The garden has a big compost container and also has a large shed where they store gardening equipment. The area under the shed seems to serve as a very hospitable rat burrow, as just walking by it at night I’ll see several rats scurrying from residential trash cans back under it. The compost also seems to attract the rats, as I’ve seen them trying to get in and out of it, especially in the winter when it’s a source of heat.
I tried contacting 311 about the rodent problem, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
We had bottomless brunch drinks + entrees at Easy Company and they added a 5.00% surcharge, plus a 20.00% tip and then taxed the whole bill with that additional 25.00%. Something about that seems really wrong…”
Thanks to A. for sending: “Saw Waymo “self-driving” rideshare car in DC–perhaps they are planning to come to the DMV? There was someone sitting in the driver’s seat…”
And another sighting: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Shakespeare Theater Co subscribers got this kind of strange email today and I wanted to forward to see if any readers know what happened?”
“A Special Message from STC: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I haven’t seen a post in the forum recently (years maybe?) about how/where to buy a used car in DC, especially since the used car market changed so much during Covid. My wife and I are looking to buy our first (used) car since 2008 and we are fish out of water. Would love to get some tips from the community.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if people had thoughts on a DC jeweler for general cleaning of engagement rings, inspection for issues and small repairs like tightening the posts on the setting. We’ve been here a long time and still can’t find a jeweler that takes less than a month for a general cleaning/inspection. Worse is that most shops don’t seem to want to take minor repairs on something they didn’t sell.”
“Dear PoPville,
this happened to me, too, in April, on wyoming in adams morgan. he begged me to look at his penis while he jacked off. i got his plates and reported it to the police but they didn’t do anything. i perceived the jeep as black, but yes it had maryland tags. i have pictures of it and video of him driving away.
