“Dear PoPville,
So after parking outside the inaccurate address listed in the MPD announcement (100 Eye Street SE is an apartment building) as the location for 1D’s AirTag/Tile giveaway, I followed the directions on the hastily-made sign to a cluster of MPD vehicles and officers at the north end of Navy Yard’s Canal Park.

“Dear PoPville,
I am not one of those people who decided to go gray during COVID, and keeping up with my roots every three weeks is a challenge, both in terms of time and money. Salon service for the specific brand I use has cost me 2 – 3 hours and more than $250 (and that does not include drying/blowout) – something I really can’t afford. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Prior to the pandemic, Men’s Wearhouse and a few other local charities collected lightly worn men’s suits to help men trying to get back on their feet and have something to wear to an interview. It seems like MW’s National Suiting Drive never resumed and some of the other DC charities that did this kind of work have dried up. I’m wondering if anyone in the community knows of a good initiative that does this important work?”

“Dear PoPville,
I am really not sure what else to do besides writing to you to share and divide my sorrow after our recent take out experience. My husband and I ordered take out this past Sunday from one of our local favorite restaurants and had a very disappointing experience. We ordered two seasonal pasta dishes and one appetizer and ended up paying almost $80 for a pick up order. The bill shows a ridiculous amount container fee and the food came in containers you can see (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
This is odd, for the past few months (at least since mid-summer) there have been 6 relatively new Toyota Camrys with Florida license plates parked in the alley that runs behind Zips and Bread Furst in Van Ness. 4 of the Camrys are in the former Burger King drive thru lot and 2 are in the larger parking lot where the car wash folks dry off customers cars. The Camrys all now have stickers indicating that they will be towed and impounded, and a couple have flat tires. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
The situation: I got a parking ticket in April in Foggy Bottom for legally parking and paying with Parkmobile (there was almost a half hour left on my reservation). In fact, the parking officer ticketed EVERY car on BOTH sides of the street. No construction, no street sweeping, all parked within the posted hours. There was plainly some kind of technical (or officer) error. I appealed, (more…)
