Back in April we reported that Old School Hardware had closed for good (planned before coronavirus and RIP to a good spot for sure.) But of all the scenarios of what could become of the space this is a pretty great one (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Someone stole my bike in Mount Pleasant last night, in front of the Dorchester house. I’m posting fliers and on next door, but I’m willing to pay a reward for its return. I don’t even care if you’re the person who stole it. I just really loved that bike. It’s a carbon track, 8 speed Miir”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in the Mt. Pleasant area, and every. single. day. the same person sits inside their parked car, idling, blasting music. I know it’s hard to be entertained and stuck at home, but if I can hear your music with all my windows and doors closed, it’s simply too loud. It’s not great having that going on during work calls, but honestly, it’s annoying in general. No one wants to be an unwilling participant to your dj-ing. Besides, who the heck idles for hours?! Is anyone else experiencing this and knows what to do? I don’t want to personally start a fight with someone who can easily find out where I live in a time like this.”
Thanks to John for sending: “Was walking back from Mt. Pleasant and saw this lady walking her rabbit, leash and all.”
If you spot a rabbit or pig being taken for a walk on a leash, please send an email to [email protected] or message us on social media @PoPville.

Thanks to Terry for passing on from Old School Hardware:
“Dear Neighbors, March 1st seems like such a long time ago! That was the day that I wrote to announce our plans to close Old School Hardware after nearly 10 years under current management. Since then, the world has truly changed! I’ve been proud of our team at the store who have been willing to stay open for the neighborhood as long as they can, even in the face of the coronavirus dangers.
If you’ve stopped in during the past few weeks, you’ve found great discounts on much of our inventory. I’m announcing today that we’ve now put everything on clearance. What’s left is now either selling at 50%-70% below cost or is selling at a 20% discount to our normal prices. I hope you might consider taking one last trip to the store and maybe buying a bag of salt, an OSH T-Shirt or Coffee Mug, or some random electrical or plumbing item to help us clear out our shelves and go out with a bang.
I also regret to announce that despite my hopes for closing the doors on April 19th, we’re now at a point where we need to close our doors 1 week earlier. This upcoming Sunday (April 12) will be the last day we are open to the public. (more…)
Thanks to Josh for passing on this GoFundMe for Marx Cafe:
“The Marx Cafe has been a beloved institution of the Mt. Pleasant community for years, but like many small businesses, is struggling to pay its bills during the COVID-19 shutdown. The good news is we can help keep the Marx Cafe open for business by pitching in via GoFundMe donations. Let’s help Marx Cafe proprietor Aris Dallas pay his employees and his bills so we can all continue to enjoy the Marx Cafe for many more years to come!
Every little bit helps — thank you in advance!”

Update: On twitter Victor (and others) report: “They’re in line to get some food help from the Spanish Catholic Charities”
“Dear PoPville,
A friend sent me this pic of what looks like a strike? (No social distancing for sure) in front of Park Monroe on 16th NW and Monroe. Does anyone know. Perhaps dc rent strike?”
