Reno Road and Tilden Street, NW/Tilden towards Sedgwick
Dear Dog Walkers doing this,
First and foremost, thank you for picking up after your pup. That is very much appreciated, truly.
However, that is merely half the battle. While these trash cans (many which have been removed for some reason) around the Embassies on Tilden Street, NW should be getting emptied, they obviously are not. As such, this is not an invitation to play some kind of shit bag jenga. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been stuck at my transfer station for over 20 minutes — I’m going to miss a meeting because it will take me an hour and fifteen minutes to go less than 5 miles.
I really really want to support public transit but the time tables are wrong, the trains are constantly late, and it’s so unpredictable I don’t know if I can keep using it for work. Are things going to get better? Can anyone talk me out of buying a vehicle?”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for a local service that could deliver charcuterie/cheese boards (ideally, they would be able to provide a monthly subscription box service). I’d love to give this as a Christmas gift for a friend.
Thanks!!”
Or the storms have knocked down some ginkgo berries a bit early. It gives me absolutely no pleasure to share this find from 36th Street, NW in Wakefield. So much for that spraying, though I do look forward to their beautiful leaves turning yellow. As for the berries, of which many more are coming – a classic lament.
