“Dear PoPville,
I’m not sure if you are tracking but DoD is going to work in office on Monday for those who live within 50 miles of there office.

I’ve been wondering what is going on with the DC E-Bike program that was passed last year. There was a lot of fanfare and then crickets. I signed-up for updates and have heard nothing at all.”
I think I heard it was supposed to launch in March or April. When it does will that push anyone towards purchasing an ebike? For those who have one already, do you recommend them?

“Dear PoPville,
I, like many of my DC friends, came from the South. The decision to leave was a conscious one, but there are things I miss about it… like line dancing. Or just country music in general. My question is, are there any good country/western dance bars in the DMV? (more…)
