“Dear PoPville,
Something I’ve been wondering that the populace might know–what is this no-parking sign saying? No parking from 12:01AM on July 7th until 12:01am on July 8th? (more…)

Dear PoPville
14th St and Jefferson Drive, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I am sending this hoping that someone/anyone can do something at the corner of 14th St and Jefferson Dr. NW. There are food trucks that have been blocking the crosswalks and eliminating visibility for EVERYONE for more than a year and our authorities have given up and decided to let the trucks run wild.

The trucks do not care and just moved and now block the sidewalks eliminating all visibility. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Anyone else experiencing hyper-delayed tax returns? I submitted returns early April, then received notice I needed to verify my income with paystubs through an online portal (which I did), and the DC site still says return is being processed and could take up to 8 weeks.

“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday (Sunday, July 2nd), we had a young man come to our door. He was soliciting donations for the DC Futures program and said he was close to his $100 goal.

“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone in the community had success or able to offer helpful suggestions for a request to the city to add and service a new city trashcan?
It seems the installations are hit or miss from the start; I sometimes see 3 or 4 with a couple of blocks, mostly unused, while other areas with busy pedestrian traffic and frequent trash issues go without. Our little stretch of Truxton is definitely in the latter. (more…)
