“Dear PoPville,

I was shopping for groceries at Hana Market last Friday (9/24) at about 6:30 pm. While trying to keep respectfully distanced, I did the do-si-do from aisle 1 to aisle 2 and back again with a woman (Asian) wearing a white mask and dressed in Halloween colors (black, orange/red). I (also Asian) was wearing a wine-red mask and dressed in fall colors (red, brown, green). (more…)

“Required to vacate my apartment, but now the landlord and renter’s insurance say they aren’t paying for my lodging”

“Dear PoPville,

I’m at a bit of a standstill with regards to my apartment. I was told to vacate the apt due to a mold situation stemming from a burst pipe on 9/13. My landlord initially said they’d cover the lodging but after realizing I had renter’s insurance she said I would need to go through them. I called my insurance and the initial consultant said that it will likely be covered under the “Loss of Use”. (more…)

Looking for Ratoncito!!

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve tried my local listserv, facebook group etc with no luck, so you’re my last hope!

Sunday I found this envelope tucked under the windshield wiper of my car. The contents ended up being very valuable and clearly not meant for me. Is there any way you could help try to get in touch with the intended recipient? I’m sure they are very upset right now.”

If you are/know Ratoncito please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.

By Prince Of Petworth


8th and Maryland Ave, NE

“Dear PoPville,

It looks like an Exotic Wine and Spirits going into the former 7-11 space at 8th and Maryland NE. The name is slightly different but the logo matches Exotic Wine and Liquors, which also has a location near the Home Depot in Brentwood. Anyone have info on the other location?”
