“Dear PoPville,
I have been renting an apartment that uses third-party billing (Conservice) to manage the building’s utility fees for several years. I recently moved out to my own place and I added someone to my lease so that she could take over, but there was a one-week gap between me moving out and her moving in.

My family decided on take out pizza last night after we finished rugby practice with Washington, DC Youth Rugby. My wife phoned the order in to Pete’s and I drove over to Pete’s to pick it up and drive home.

I’m ok with the 20% charge for diners staying at Pete’s to eat. That’s what I would have tipped anyway.
10% for take out orders is crazy though. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to let the community know about a string of robberies that happened last night in Adams Morgan. A group of us were walking up Columbia NW at 2am around Gelmarc towers and saw two guys who had just been held at gunpoint and had their phones and wallets stolen. We were standing there helping them call their banks and the same car pulled over AGAIN, and held up our group. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On Wednesday, a group of 11 Northwest Neighbors Village members had a lively lunch at Steak N Egg Diner on Wisconsin Avenue. In the middle of our meal, we got the most amazing surprise when our waiter came in to say that the young couple who had been sitting at the table next to us had paid for our entire bill of over $250!
