“Dear PoPville,
For the past month, neighbors in Crestwood have not had regular mail (missing 2-3 nights a week). Mail has been found in large dumps in the woods. Are thieves looking for stimulus checks? Is this a disgruntled worker? No one knows, as the postal inspector, is not responding to emails.
Sad state of affairs indeed.”
Holy smokes thanks to Carmel for sending: “My aunt and uncle didn’t forget about me this year after all. Their Christmas card, mailed to me on December 11, 2020 in Lexington, KY, arrived in my mailbox today, April 3, 2020.”
And thanks to Molly for sending this bonus tree from 14th and N St, NW with ornaments: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
We own our home in DC, and have lived in it for about 3 years. We’ve always gotten the odd piece of mail here or there that was addressed to the wrong person, and I just chalked this up to quadrant typos (something getting sent to NE vs NW) or just a mistake.

“Dear PoPville,
We live in Eckington and have not received mail for over a week now. This has been an ongoing issue in our neighborhood for months now. I’m now waiting on receiving an important prescription medication that is late. Is there anything we can do? (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
So this is how my Tuesday started…
And this LEGEND of a postman took the time to salvage my failed mailings and return them to our house! (more…)
This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I’ve mentioned that the bullet proof glass at the bodegas around town is a bit off putting but I can understand it a bit as the history has been a bit choppy and small businesses have a lot to loose. But I was totally perplexed at the bullet proof glass at the Petworth Post Office on 9th Street. I mean is that really necessary today? Is the fact that it’s a felony offense to rob a post office not enough deterrent? Do the employees really feel that threatened? Or is it just too expensive (or simple inertia has set in) to remove it? I’m honestly interested to hear what you guys think? Any one else offended?
you have to write that your house is occupied on your mailbox.
this is a pretty good place to retrieve your L.L. Bean catalogs.
What the hell do they use these mailboxes that don’t open for?
