“Dear PoPville,
I started researching fancy delivery options for an upcoming birthday, and all the listicles I’ve found about delivery during the pandemic are from last spring and summer. A lot of restaurants have adapted since then. I would love to hear recommendations on fancy pre-fix menu meals that deliver in the DC area.”

“Dear PoPville,
I am a independent DMV hairstylist, making home visits since 2016, whose business was literally crushed during COVID. I am going to be building from the ground up again this year. I currently do not have my own vehicle, needed to safely get to and from work. I am diabetic and have asthma, have 2 young ones with asthma and have a elderly parent with cardiac complications on dialysis, who I only get to see 1x per week, but still need to protect by keeping myself away from exposure.
Here is a link to my GoFundMe for you to read more.”
