“Dear PoPville,
One of my neighbors organizes a concert in their frontyard, once or twice a week. At first, I thought it was really cute and enjoyed it. Over time, the thing expanded into a full-fledged concert, with microphones, amplifiers, loud speakers, singers, a band, and it typically goes on for 8-10 hours, roughly between lunch time and 10pm.

“Dear PoPville,
Looking for help from the community as far as a shower head/in line filter folks can recommend; Ive lived in the same condo in NW for 10+ years, but for some reason lately DC water has been wreaking havoc on my skin and hair and I’m tired of the residue, itchiness etc. My understanding is that it might be due to the chloramine or chlorine used to treat municipal water.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!”

“Dear PoPville,
We live in a row house and share a brick party wall with our neighbor. We’ve already had some issues with his property causing issues on ours (not going into detail here, but essentially upkeep failures). All that’s to say we already don’t have a great relationship. (more…)
