Mount Pleasant
Kyle sends the plea from Mount Pleasant:
“PLEASE DON’T ticket me! I live here! Trying to get permit, have been to DMV 4 times. I have paid $300+ in tickets. There is no non-zone parking near here. Just graduated college and literally cannot afford more tickets or parking permit.”
From an email:

There used to be a vendor selling duck in steamed Chinese buns and when I stopped by last week, he was no longer there. In addition to duck, he also offered mushrooms.
Are you familiar with this vendor?
The buns are so delicious they are to die for.”
“Dear PoPville,
I live at 16th and Columbia Road NW. We and our neighbors have been dealing with noise on and off from the roadwork for the 16th Street bus project — while working from home — since February or March. Now, we found out last night that the contractors are going to be doing resurfacing work at our intersection overnight, potentially every night this week.
This work is loud, with constant starting and stopping of machinery that shakes the room.
