“Dear PoPville,
The long dedicated bike lane running along the west side of 15th street NW is a main bike artery through the city, but often causes a level of false confidence and safety to riders. People blowing down the bike lane near Meridian hill Park are met with the intersection of Florida, W, 15th, and New Hampshire, which has a very awkward traffic pattern and some blind spots. (more…)
Thanks to Lauren for sending:
“hey changed the traffic pattern on Arkansas Ave and Iowa Ave NW. You can only turn northeastbound on Arkansas from Iowa, and Iowa between 14th and Arkansas is one way!”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m in the process of renting out my space to a tenant that uses the DCHA voucher program. The tenant-to-be seems great, is doing all the paperwork on their end, and is ready to move in ASAP.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can help reunite me with my credit card, which I learned was accidentally given to someone else with the same type of card when I went to close my tab at Andy’s Pizza in NoMa last week Wednesday (6/14). (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Car is still out there in the street. A cop showed up at one point…looked at the car and ticket then called me back to say that I had to call 311 again. Which I did…again. I won’t go into all the conversations I’ve had because you just would not believe me. But if you live in DC you might. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
At the nationals park the other week, I bought a beer from someone walking up and down the stands and was given the option of tipping 15, 20, or 25%. Later, I bought a second beer from someone at a concession stand and was told that “tipping is mandatory” — any idea how that works?
