“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone have suggestions/experience replacing an old intercom door buzzer entry system for a smaller building? Any idea of cost or options? Would prefer to go wireless but have no idea of cost or vendor since off the shelf products like Ring tend to be for single family units. Thank you for your help!”
Mount Pleasant and Lamont St, NW

“Dear PoPville,
I know I can’t be the only person in this city full of rowhouses-split-into-condos that has an awkward staircase and a need to find creative ways to get big furniture into the house, so I’m asking for advice/recommendations. I have a second-floor condo with a roof deck, and stairs that turn 180 degrees between the front door and my unit. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Myself, along with several other residents have been really frustrated with the flood lights that Nats park has recently started to turns on at all hours of the night and day. Despite putting blinds down the lights are so strong that they still come through and are affected sleep. See pic below(and doesn’t even do justice). (more…)

What kind of creative uses are people finding for all the large delivery crates that Amazon keeps leaving everywhere? Storage? Moving? Building a tent?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My friends and I are trying to do the impossible, meet single, straight thirty-something men in the wild. We’ve tried cigar bars, we’ve tried sports bars, and some of us have even tried kickball. Now it’s time to crowdsource. Where do straight, single guys who are no longer on their parent’s health insurance go out in this city?”

I’ve been having a lot of conversations with me and my single friends (men and women) who are very sick of the dating apps. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to flag WMATA’s clusterf**k of a rollout of the new (old) S2 and S9 routes and hopefully save people from waiting for a bus that may never come. This week, WMATA rolled the S2/9 routes back to 16th between K and M after about a year of running that strip on 15th. However, they didn’t inform passengers or drivers clearly of this change. Sometimes buses take the old route, sometimes the new one, so it’s roulette getting a bus at either stop right now. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if you or your readers may have any updates on the development at 901 Monroe St NE in Brookland – or maybe it’s stalled indefinitely?
901 Monroe is the vacant lot directly across from the Brookland metro station’s bus loop and, according to old PoPville posts, no progress has been made following demolition over ten years ago. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live on a street with tight parking but a neighbor of mine has lived near me for over a year and has never registered their car (has temporary tags that expired in 2021). I’ve called MPD and they refer to parking enforcement then they said it’s a “Department of Public Works” issue and nothing happens. The neighbor drives the car everyday so I can’t refer to it as “abandoned.” I looked up its tags (more…)
