“Dear PoPville,
Oktoberfest! I just learned it traditionally starts Sep. 20 and only goes through Oct 5 – so can we share best suggestions for schnitzel, spaetzle, pretzel and of course beer?
I will start with (totally unexpected) Wonderland Ballroom. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I want to send some love to El Rinconcito 2 in Columbia Heights. They are a wonderful family business with delicious Salvadorean food, drinks, and a lovely patio. Business has been slow recently due to **all this** and they could use some love. I’d be heart broken to lose this longtime staple. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can help me track down a guy named Jason. On Saturday, Jason had a pretty impressive wipeout and was knocked unconscious after hitting a parked car on 13th St near the Cardozo Hill. My friend and I saw the whole thing and stayed until he was in good hands with the fire department. I’m just looking to confirm he’s okay and if he has all his teeth.
Let him know if he wants to fill in the blanks, my friend and I happy to share the details from our vantage point, but mostly, I’m just relieved he’s safe.”
