“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to share that I misplaced my wallet today and thought it was gone forever but a very kind person took a moment to put it in my mailbox. I just wanted to maybe post a thank you to that person for their decency and their kindness really made a difference in my day. Faith in humanity totally restored. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
New trash receptacles have been installed in the Hobart Place pocket parks! Many thanks to the people working behind the scenes, but I think PoPville deserves a huge shout-out for creating enough social pressure for the District to finally act on this.

Ed. Note: Thank you, at your service, always. But credit really goes to the neighbors who’ve consistently been in touch with city agencies and authorities.

“Dear PoPville,
I know I’ve written to you about it before, and many popville readers would dismiss this saying “it’s a side street, of course it’s ignored by the city,” but it’s driving everyone on the block absolutely crazy how terribly the city is responding.

“Dear PoPville,
My car and a few others were street parked over the weekend in Park View (Newton Place and Georgia Ave, NW) and hit around 330 AM. I was able to get video footage, but cannot identify the license plate from the video. In the video there’s a few witnesses, so I am seeking any information people may have. Thank you!”
