“Dear PoPville,
Always amusing when you get a DC jury summons for someone who has been very dead for at least 12 years (prior owner of my house. Seriously.”
“Dear PoPville,
I saw these things attached to a light pole near Maryland Ave and 13th NE. What are they? They don’t look like cameras. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I posted a sofa for sale on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist (Really nice sofa – still for sale!) And immediately got 3-4 replies from people saying they want it but are at work, traveling, whatever, and will Venmo or Zelle me the money and have their nephew/brother pick it up. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you’ve heard anything about The Lane converting to an adults-only space. Got an email [see below] this morning inviting me to join a “one-of-a-kind grownup indoor playground club…” for $299/month plus a $250 initiation fee.
The website stripped most of its language about children and only features photos of adults. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I miss the Santa and Santa picture set up they used to have at Mazza Gallerie. The set ups at the other malls (at least Montgomery and Tysons) don’t even come close. Does anyone know if the old Mazza Gallerie set up moved somewhere else? Or, if not, if there is something more like it around town?
Thank you!!”
“Dear PoPville,
A few years ago a developer bought the row home behind us and used it as their office (despite it being zoned residential). Over those years they never took out their garbage and often let it pile 3 or 4 trash bags high. The rats had a field days and there was constantly trash everywhere. We tried talking to them and filed complaints with the city when that did not work but the issue continued until the day they received their demo permits for a condo conversion. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Finally decided to check out The Square so we could get our fix of Anne Cashion’s delicious food, but Cashion’s Rendezvous was closed!! We were devastated. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
During my Free2Move trip one of the tires had only 14 PSI. That’s almost flat, 35 is normal. I stopped at a gas station, had to ask for $2 in quarters for the air machine, and re-taught myself how to inflate a tire (I knew in high school, but haven’t owned a car in almost 20 years). The whole hassle took only 15 minutes, but I was paying for it. Free2Move refused ANY credit for this.
Moral of the story? Never do anything for a Free2Move car! Don’t gas them up (they’ll only pay for the first $25 anyway, and they’ll lecture you that you shouldn’t have tried if you waste time trying to find a late-night gas station and can’t), don’t put air in the tires, don’t pick up trash, nothing.
