“Dear PoPville,
I live near the Engine 8 fire station in Hill East and while I admit it’s a little less awful than your recurring series, it’s still not great!
They’ve been replacing the roof at the fire station for the past couple weeks and this has resulted in lots of noise every morning because they start bright and early (including on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend). Today they’ve gone to the next level — they started work at 5:30 in the morning, (more…)

Seeking info on who are considered the best and worst condo (150 or more units) management companies in the DC Metro area and why you think so – experience living (owning or renting) in a building or what you’ve heard. Thanks.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve Googled extensively but haven’t been able to find a list of bars in DC that are showing US Open Tennis. We ventured to Millie’s over the weekend and the vibe was great, but it wasn’t Metro friendly and took us an hour to get there. Hoping someone has a recommendation for a Metro friendly bar airing the US Open…that also hopefully has decent wine, bar food and like minded tennis fans.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I got the mail from DMV for unpaid ticket that haven’t paid for more than 30 days, the fine is now from $50 to $100. I got confused as I do not remember if I got any ticket.

“Dear PoPville,
I want to reiterate my thanks to the person (man, mid twenties) on their bike this morning (Thursday) around 0815/0820 on the Rock Creek path at the intersection at the Georgetown Waterfront / Watergate for being such a polite and respectful neighbor.
I was walking my dog and an unkempt man pushing several shopping carts full of items approached her to say hello – totally fine. When it came time to cross the street he started speaking to me in a language I am not familiar with and following me and my pup pretty closely. I smiled, waved, said “Have a good day!” but he didn’t seem to understand. He kept following me, using the carts to push us further and further off the sidewalk and closer to the river. My dog, who is also a medical alert animal, started to get agitated in response to my increased heart rate and the general situation.
Just as I was aiming for an escape route, a nice man on a bike stopped, took out his earbud, and asked me if I knew the person following me. When I said no, he kindly stayed with us as we continued to walk away, (more…)
Thanks to Steven for sending:
“Only a few tiki shot glasses up for bid, but stumbled across the Archipelago auction here. Also I chuckled at the “Halle’s pizza crust” leading off the items.”

DDOT or whoever is doing this work in Eckington (S & 3rd NE, and the somewhat more covered one is at S & 4th) doing less than the bare minimum here…” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m a resident of Columbia Heights and am looking for community recommendations: Our alley backs up to a shared green space at the CoHi green. The new management just posted a “no dogs allowed” sign and claimed that this property – formerly run by an NGO associated with the district government – is now private property. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Our sidewalk well is completely taken over by daylilies, making it hard to open our car door when we park near our house. After years of dividing them to reduce the size, we’re looking for a lower-maintenance option. (more…)

“any idea what’s going on here on the MBT? Looks like it’s being cleaned out and maybe rehabbed?”
