“Dear PoPville,
I am writing to share an unfortunate experience currently plaguing several residents of the 1400 block of Florida Ave NW, which up until this week has been a work zone for the Northwest Boundary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The project came with the headaches of a significant infrastructure improvement project in the middle of a busy city (lots of noise, loss of street parking for residents, major traffic snarls on what is already a major thoroughfare for regular traffic as well as emergency vehicles), but residents of the area had been able to tolerate the disruptions and coexist peacefully with the crew.

“Harrison playground baseball field locked”
“Dear PoPville,
Any complaints about the DPR and their ridiculous regulations for using “athletic” fields? I’ve lived over here on v street next to Harrison park (basketball court, kids jungle gym, and baseball field)… and the DPR keeps it locked like 95 percent of the time. One of the only green spaces around and it’s locked up. (more…)
