“Dear PoPville,
I got an email that the DPR rec center classes I was enrolled in for myself and my family were cancelled (Spin class on M/W, Sat, and Body Flex/Weight lifting on T/Th). My husband said his instructor told him that it was a possibility last week as DPR and the DC government did not reach an agreement/renew contracts in time for classes to be taught. Wondering how widespread across the city this is. For context my classes were at Raymond Recreation Center in Petworth.”

“Dear PoPville,
I go away for a couple of months, come back, and the Dupont Circle fountain is still not working and looks more like a construction zone than ever. I thought the whole waterproofing business was only going to take about a month and then it would be back on again. What the heck is going on?”
