“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for where to get a mammogram in DC? I’ve been really disappointed with the breast center at one of the local university hospitals so I’m hoping someone has a good rec.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was taking the MARC train from Union Station to Baltimore this morning (Saturday the 9th) and sat down across the aisle from a cute boy. I started doing the Wordle and then I looked up and he was doing it too. Then I did the NYT crossword and so was he. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I go away for a couple of months, come back, and the Dupont Circle fountain is still not working and looks more like a construction zone than ever. I thought the whole waterproofing business was only going to take about a month and then it would be back on again. What the heck is going on?”
“Dear PoPville,
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have had five Amazon packages stolen in 4 days in Capitol Hill. I am livid. I know this is a citywide issue, but it feels like Capitol Hill has been getting the brunt of it for months. The most recent package was delivered at 10 PM and was gone by 6 AM. I was asleep, so I did not retrieve the package when it was delivered. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone have suggestions of local sites and apps to sell furniture? While Facebook marketplace seems to be the ideal option for the most reach and visibility, I’ve only been messaged by scammers the past few weeks. I have also posted items on OfferUp but I’m not getting a lot of traction. Has anyone had good experiences with other forums/sites/apps to sell items?”

Update from OP:
“I spoke with our building manager. I received more clarity – the term “master keys” were used generally at the time of the theft. Specifically, what was stolen were the “Staff master keys” that allow access through the front door (which is a fobbed entry) and access to our package room. This also does provide full access to all the floors of our 9 story building, as well as the parking garage.
This does not 100% rule out the possibility that the individual keys to each unit were accessed, but makes it more unlikely. Therefore, it is unclear how he got inside my unit and still it is unclear how he stole the “staff master keys”.”
“Dear PoPville,
This is a long one but I hope you’ll share with the community, because it is particularly brazen and concerning if you live in a large multi-family building like I do. How they did it was a new method that stunned the police. On Thursday morning, my car was stolen out of the parking garage of my condo building.
It appears that the criminal(s) broke into the building office where the master key to the lock box is located, potentially found the key to my unit, entered my unit while my friend and I were sleeping, and stole my bag with my laptop and my car keys. (more…)

Update: Topher Mathews on twitter tells us, “That’s Paul Strauss or Michael Brown’s car. Josh Hawley would have a car with MO plates.”
“Dear PoPville,
Josh Hawley parked in a BUS ZONE, in front of Trusty’s on a Saturday night.
I reported it to 311. (more…)

This new micro bakery is AMAZING. The owner is an NYC food writer turned pâtissière who has set up this absolute gem in Mt Pleasant. Thought it might be up PoPville’s street…”
