Humane Rescue Alliance has been alerted again.

“Dear PoPville,

Calling attention to a situation that has recently escalated on Georgia avenue.

Neighbors have noticed two dogs left alone on a regular basis overnight at a store on Georgia Ave. Often seeing the dogs sitting alone in the morning with nothing more than one towel to share between the two of them and (more…)


Thanks to J. for sending from Brightwood Park:

“Three tires popped and two windows smashed.

Perhaps a neighbor was angry over this roaming vehicle taking their beloved parking space”


“Dear PoPville,

Dead goose rotting in Francis Field (1255 25th St, NW) for over two weeks. I have called animal control and put in service requests at DPR and DC 311. They say they will “take care of it” yet it is a huge field and no one bothered to ask the location of the animal or take down my contact info so I can show them. Sports teams and young children ages 3-5 play in this field daily. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

Follow up from your post three years ago.

I went to print a permit today at district 2 station; the officer helpfully told me that DDOT has not delivered paper in 2 months to any of the kiosks and “they occasionally get paper but do not know when it shows up or how much” and if I really needed to print, I had to go down to DDOT to print it.”



Not charger in question, just one I passed in front of a house the other day.

“Dear PoPville,

We hired a professional electrician to install an EV charger in front of our home in DC (it is on our side of the property line). Fast forward six months, we just received a $4700 fine in the mail from DC for (more…)

Update from ANCJosh (Josh Jacobson):

“Diving board: hoping to replace with a 0.5m board pending DC Health follow up. Diving board standards changed, and pool is not deep enough to support a 1m board. The depth further from board might not be enough for a 0.5m board. Hoping to have more info on approval in 2 weeks.

best case is that a shorter board comes back before end of summer. The pool might not be deep enough to meet health code though.”

“Dear PoPville,

Do you now what happened to the diving board at Banneker pool? Is it coming back?”

I asked DPR 11 days ago (June 5) and was told, “I’ll see what info I can get for you on this.” Unfortunately no further updates despite continued requests. Will update when/if they follow up.


“Dear PoPville,

I have a friend coming to visit in a few weeks, they plan to drive and have a new/nice car. I have seen many vehicles in my neighborhood (NW) get their windows busted out, but even more concerning, I have seen very new cars have their tires stolen. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

I’ve noticed this public parking space on New Hampshire right by Bandit Taco off of U st. The motorcycle is normally parked directly in front of the truck, looks as if the person permanently blocks the spot with the motorcycle (attached photo) when they use the truck? Is this legal?”


“Dear PoPville,

I mailed a check to DC Office of Tax and Revenue. The check was intercepted and altered on the payee line, paid to order of an individual. Which Law Enforcement agencies will help investigate and recover the funds? My bank is physically located in San Francisco. Thank you.”


If this is you, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll connect you with OP.

“Dear PoPville,

Earlier this week on Monday, June 13, I fell off my bike trying to go up a curb around Dupont Circle and fell. I didn’t have any serious injuries but I hit my mouth and the bleeding made me think my injuries were worse than they were (and note that I was wearing a helmet).

No one was around to see me fall but I flagged down a woman as she was walking out of a building between 21st/22nd st and N St. She helped me call 911 and stayed with me until the ambulance came, (more…)
