“Dear PoPville,
If you pull into an alley from a busy street and someone is coming out of the alley, who should back up? For context, this alley has an open commercial parking lot off of it. Does it matter where in the alley? Thanks!”
“Dear PoPville,
I parked my car on 13th and Euclid St NW and my airbag was stolen – wanted to give a heads up in case you’d like to spread the word and warn people. Apparently thieves are targeting Hondas. I saw you had an article earlier about this but figured I’d let you know that it’s still going on. :(”

“Dear PoPville,
On Wednesday, I was driving down Whitehurst Freeway in Georgetown (just south of 27th St). The sewer grate in the middle of the exit lane popped up as I drove over it and my brand new car is now essentially totaled. Is there any way to pursue recourse with the city? I’m very frustrated this happened! The strut and suspension in my car is broken. I hope the grate was fixed bc I imagine it’s very unsafe and hurting other people’s cars too!!!!”

“Dear PoPville,
What is the legal move here at this intersection of 6th and Constitution NW? I read it as you cannot turn unless the arrow is green. What that causes is cars to honk as not many people are used to not turning when there is no red signal. Should DC make this sign more clear?”
