“Dear PoPville,
Just had an eye exam with Dr. Adel Ibrahim at the My Eye Dr. in Dupont and he did slight of hand magic tricks during the appointment (like made my new contacts disappear as he was handing them to me) – it was so delightful!

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for where to get a mammogram in DC? I’ve been really disappointed with the breast center at one of the local university hospitals so I’m hoping someone has a good rec.”
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share some information on something I recently learned about bills at Children’s National.

“Dear PoPville,
I recently received a COVID booster and saw that it was not updated on the vaccine card in my Apple wallet. I recall a post awhile back about how to add the record to Apple wallet. Could you post a question to the forum for how to update our records in Apple Wallet?”
Apple has a good explainer here.
