“Dear PoPville,

Crazy screamers at Columbia Heights Metro have become sadly normal, the Black Hebrew Israelite etc. But right now 1/28/4:00 pm – intense insane screaming extreme volume. I have begged our council for years to simply prohibit amplified speech. (more…)



Chesapeake House, “It was built in 1937 by the Mattingly family, making it a relative late-comer to the declining Reno City community. The Mattinglys operated a store of the first floor and lived upstairs The family sold the building to the United States in 1950.

“Dear PoPville,

I am in a wedding coming up next month, and given the number of costs associated with participating in the events, I am wondering if you could help me ask for recommendations on a nail salon in the city that is cost effective without compromising on cleanliness and quality. Just looking for a basic manicure/pedicure – nothing fancy! Doing research on salons in the area I find they are either very expensive or have poor reviews. Could you possibly help me with asking to find something in-between?”
