“Spotted a 90’s Toyota Crown. These weren’t sold in the US – note the right hand drive.
Its larger and much more luxurious sibling, the Toyota Century, was arguably better than a contemporary Rolls by almost every metric.”

“Dear PoPville,
Union Market security has decided to install a loudspeaker with high decibels that relays an anti loitering message. Every minute starting at 12:00am and ends at 6:00am. It’s superloud and can be heard yards away. I’m sure this is illegal.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Not sure if most DC neighbors are aware of this, so wanted to see if there’s a good way to make people aware.
I was stunned when I saw Pepco’s letter explaining why we were experiencing higher electricity bills this winter. Their explanation was basically… it’s cold.
I wanted to make sure readers were aware that (more…)

Thanks to Emily for writing in, “normally there’s a fee for “bad parking” (locking the bike to a bike rack, leaving it on the sidewalk). If the intended dock is full, you can leave it parked “badly” with no additional fee” and passing on from Capital Bikeshare yesterday:
“Rolling up to a full station at the end of a ride can throw off your whole flow. You’ve arrived at your destination, but now you’re circling the block, trying to figure out where to lock up to avoid the out-of-station fee. You told us you needed more flexibility, so we built a better way to wrap up your ride.
A new perk, just for members.
Starting today, Capital Bikeshare members can park ebikes near full or nearly full docking stations for free.
Here’s how it works (more…)
