“Dear PoPville,
I live directly across the street from a DCPS elementary school and when they have field trips/activities, they often hire charter buses that sit and idle for long periods of time. This morning, the charter buses arrived at 5:30am and like always, they sat empty and idling — it is so LOUD. Read More
“Dear PoPville,
Crazy screamers at Columbia Heights Metro have become sadly normal, the Black Hebrew Israelite etc. But right now 1/28/4:00 pm – intense insane screaming extreme volume. I have begged our council for years to simply prohibit amplified speech. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I live across the street from the Signal House office building over in Union Market. The majority of the annoyingly loud, early morning construction seems finished, but now the lights in the offices (the fluorescent blinding lights) are on literally 24/7. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I live with my husband and 10-month old daughter and we’ve recently been shocked by the DC police’s lack of response to school alarm systems going off at all hours of the night and day.

Over those years they never took out their garbage and often let it pile 3 or 4 trash bags high. The rats had a field days and there was constantly trash everywhere. We tried talking to them and filed complaints with the city when that did not work but the issue continued until the day they received their demo permits for a condo conversion. Read More
“Dear PoPville,
Myself, along with several other residents have been really frustrated with the flood lights that Nats park has recently started to turns on at all hours of the night and day.

“After weeks of certifying operators to use Automatic Door Operation on some Red Line trains, the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission gave its concurrence to allow Metro to fully operate in Auto Door mode on the Red Line starting today.
Customers will notice faster entries and exits on Red Line trains, causing doors to open within 3-5 seconds after the train stops on the station platform. The time saved per stop is around 10-15 seconds. Read More
“Dear PoPville,
We live behind the apartment building directly behind the zoo and they are abysmal about their trash pickup up schedule and capacity. Rats have taken over their parking lot and the alley at night, while crows show up in the am. Read More
“Dear Popville,
Back in May of this year, I had a run in with a lady matching the description from the previous posts. As I was walking my dog, I heard a commotion around Newton and Brown Streets NW, saw someone moving some recycling bins, didn’t think anything of it, and kept walking toward Monroe. I heard a sound from behind me then a glass bottle shattered Read More
