And the “too long” part:
I live in Mt Pleasant (Ward 1) in an apartment building that backs up to a private parking lot for row houses.

“Dear PoPville,
Acknowledging you’re a DC- focused entity, BUT I wanted to email a little plea to our local neighbors to consider fostering animals from Prince George’s County.

They gave her directions and never gave her a slip with the garage on it. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live on an RPP block and whenever I have a friend over who drives to my place, I print out a visitor parking pass that goes on the dashboard. I thought the visitor pass would allow them to park on either side of the street (permit-only and 2-hr parking), but (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
