“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?”

“Dear PoPville,
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.

The neighbor drives the car everyday so I can’t refer to it as “abandoned.” I looked up its tags (more…)
Thanks to John for sending: “Third Street NW between Florida and Rhode Island avenues finally reopened.”
“Dear PoPville,
We live behind the apartment building directly behind the zoo and they are abysmal about their trash pickup up schedule and capacity. Rats have taken over their parking lot and the alley at night, while crows show up in the am. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Thursday, Nov 30 around 2:30 in the afternoon I was on my bicycle crossing through the crosswalk that connects the GW Parkway to the Key Bridge when a car accelerated into me, throwing me to the curb and consequently the hospital. In the chaos that followed, I knew there were witnesses, as one had helped call 911 and retrieve my belongings from the roadway, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
PSA that I just got a visit from someone from Mpower and the whole thing sounded weird so I sent them away. I googled it and saw that you reported on this a few months ago in another part of DC. Today, (more…)
