“Dear PoPville,
How many DC folks have a metal deck? Our strip of rowhouses in NE DC all have metal decks, so we had assumed they are popular in DC. But a couple of contractors have been surprised/confused. So do other PoPvillers have metal decks? Does anyone remember when the (short-lived?) metal deck fad struck?”

“Dear PoPville,
Do we yet know the fate of City Bikes Adams Morgan?”
Sadly we learned back in December the closures would be permanent.
Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

“Dear PoPville,
I just heard from a vendor that this market will not reopen this year.”
Likely related to the Reeves Center redevelopment. We recently reported the post office would be closing there too.
Stay tuned.
“Dear PoPville,
So a tire blew out on my way to work, and the car stranded me. I parked it legally, ended the trip, and took an Uber to work. Free2Move doesn’t want to (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
TL;DR Any recommendations for who to contact about someone taking out the trash from around 6 to 6:30 am?
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. The row houses have formed an association that pays one of their members to take out the individual trash bins for all of the residents– my guess is somewhere in the range of 20-30 bins. (more…)
“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. Currently, the county still has a breed ban which means that any dog labeled pit bull can only be adopted or fostered by residents outside the county. Currently pittie advocacy group End PG BSL is hard at work to end the breed ban and improve shelter conditions, and we are hoping for the best for our loyal companions. But until then, like so many shelters, the county shelter is suffering from overcrowding, and is therefore euthanizing all owner-surrenders on intake, and has taken actions such as euthanizing all sick dogs before local partner rescues were able to pull any out. Every other day rescues are getting lists of dogs on the urgent list which are only being given 24-48 hours to find a new home. (more…)

“Not sure if you can help but my daughter drove her/our car down to DC 3/8 for the Awesomecon. She came earlier in the day and parked in a garage around 330pm. She parked on floor B4, gave the attendent 20 dollars because even though it was $19 they didn’t have change. They told her remember B4 and that they closed at 7. They gave her directions and never gave her a slip with the garage on it. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if you know anything about why a couple of years ago the Old Soldiers Home started (and has continued) playing the bugle every morning and evening? (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…)
