“I Felt Like They Really Cared About Me and My Car….”

By PoP Sponsor (a)
1/5

Nothing makes us happier than client feedback like this. Delivering a new kind of car repair and maintenance is exactly why we started CarCare To Go. Below is more of that Google review and you can see the rest of our reviews here.

I had a wonderful experience with CarCare To Go and will not only use them again but recommend them to others! They were exactly as advertised — fair and transparent with their pricing and communication, professional, easy and courteous. I felt like they really cared about me and my car and establishing a good, long-term relationship. I also loved the thorough inspection report, including the videos the service tech took as he walked through the issues/concerns with the areas needing repairs. Many thanks to John A., Brian, John P. and Roxi! — Misty

To celebrate the love we have for our clients, CarCare To Go is extending our January offer for an oil change for just $20.22 until February 14. No catch. Synthetic or blend for any make or model car. The only rule is that you have to book your service this month before February 14. Use code 2022 when you book.

Omicron Is on the Decline — Book Your Living Wage Cleaning!

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Dear PoPville readers,

This winter has been rough.

Due to Omicron, many of our family, friends and neighbors got sick, and our hospitals were filled to capacity. And by overlapping with the holiday season, I know that many of us missed out on doing things we wanted to do and seeing people we wanted to see.

Thankfully, according to a recent NPR segment, it looks like we are turning a corner. In fact, according to the New York Times’ tracker for the District of Columbia, pictured below, cases are down 78% in the last two weeks. As case counts decrease as rapidly as they ascended, many of us are thinking through what we feel comfortable doing now and how to best enjoy our lives again.

If one thing you’ve been missing is your regular home cleaning, Well-Paid Maids is here for you and still doing everything in our power to be as COVID-safe as possible. Our cleaners are still wearing masks to every job, we are still asking customers to be masked when sharing space with them, and our staff is still 100% fully vaccinated with a rolling booster mandate in effect as cleaners become eligible.

Local Florist Volanni Accepting Valentine’s Orders

By PoP Sponsor (a)
1/5

Hey, heads up: Valentine’s Day is two weeks away. (Yeah, it has a special way of creeping up.)

It’s going to be difficult to treat your admirer to a romanic dinner out or a fun experience this year (RIP concerts), so why not go back to the basics and surprise them with flowers?

Instead of calling up one of those national florists and ordering a generic arrangement, shop local and order a unique bouquet from D.C.-based florist Volanni.

Michael Lanni, the artist behind these beautiful bouquets, is offering Valentine’s Day arrangements. You’ll find way more options than your classic red roses, too. (There’s even a “showy, elegant” arrangement called the Petworth.) Ultimately, Volanni is made up of artists and flowers are the medium.

So if you want to support local and surprise your special person with some flowers this Valentine’s Day, shop Volanni’s arrangements and place your order online by February 11 at 11 a.m.

More Than Just an Officer

By PoP Sponsor (a)

More than ever, police departments are looking to broaden their experience base by hiring a diverse workforce — not just diverse in terms of race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation, but also in educational experience.

MPD requires at least 60 college credits to join the Department and a large majority of officers joining the force have a four-year degree. To reach an audience with diverse skillsets, MPD has moved away from traditional recruiting videos that show action-packed, tactical operations, by specialized units, and is now focusing on the personal story of officers and their everyday experiences.

Recent MPD videos showcase an officer who saved nine lives through the use of tactical emergency casualty care, an officer who joined MPD because they saw diversity and representation within the ranks, an MPD cadet reciting their original poetry, and a call to action to be the change you want to see in a video called “Their Eyes.”

MPD is actively hiring and searching for the next generation of DC Police. Learn more at www.joinmpd.dc.gov.
