“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking to do a basement renovation to get a C of O and trying to find contractors.
Like a lot of DC rowhome basements, mine is cramped, dated, and has exposed pipes that are low. I’d like to do all of the things to get a C of O or if the cost/benefit doesn’t make sense, at the very least make it more attractive for a tenant. (more…)
If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by a volunteer who compiles these pets weekly from local shelters.
“Archer is the happiest pup! He is so excited about everything, walks, treats, dinner, pets, even just looking at him! It is hard to get pictures because his tail wags so much he wiggles and makes the picture blurry! He is doing well in the crate and learning some basic commands. He really wants to make his people happy. He loves playing tug and chase with our resident dog in the yard but he also loves snuggling on our lap at the end of the night or even during the day while we work. Archer is up for anything as long as he is by your side he is happy!” To learn how to adopt Archer from Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, click here.”
Hello friends! My name is Roberta. I don’t know how it came to be, but I found myself outdoors near an industrial park trying to survive alone. A kind Samaritan would leave food for me. Eventually I was persuaded to trust my generous friend. I’m glad I did because they introduced me to King Street Cats and I was welcomed inside!
As you can see, I am gorgeous! Everyone says so. I have creamy short fur with soft markings not unlike what you find in Ragdolls, Birmans and Siamese coats. My crystal blue eyes are simply beautiful.
I’m still quite shy. I hope that my purrson will be very gentle, patient, soft-spoken, understanding of my hesitation, and encouraging. I’d like a kitty mentor who is not threatened by my presence and won’t behave aggressively toward me. It will greatly enhance my well-being and facilitate my social progress to have a compatible friend with whom I can play, run, explore, groom, nap and emulate when it comes to human interaction.
Please consider opening your heart and home to a stunning but shy young blue-eyed beauty. You can learn more about me here.

I’m wondering if the Popville community have any suggestions for where we could go pick up a great Christmas dinner! We will be here for the holidays this year and would love to support local restaurants. But we also don’t want to break the bank. There’s just two of us! Wondering if anyone has great recommendations from ordering out Thanksgiving?”

A reader reports last night:
“I was robbed and assaulted at knifepoint in the Petworth/Georgia Ave metro station around 6:30pm [Thursday.] Two guys were waiting outside the train when I got off, one followed me to the escalator and put a knife to my side and asked for my phone. I said no, we fought, the other guy joined when it wasn’t a quick transaction. The first guy tried to stab me in the stomach but he had a utility swiss army knife and it wasn’t sharp. Eventually they got the phone after a few punches to the head, another guy who saw it happening got the knife and gave it to the station manager who called transit police. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“This evening, after DC Public Schools and the Washington Teachers’ Union reached an agreement on a return to in-person learning, Mayor Bowser released the following statement:
“Since the summer, we have worked tirelessly to create a plan that allows for the safe return of in-person learning — a plan that meets the needs of students, educators, and families. While CARE classrooms have been limited, we know that for many families they have provided a critical lifeline. Still, we know that the best option for our young people is in-person learning, and that has remained our focus. The road ahead is long, and there is much learning loss to be made up for, but this agreement brings us another step closer to getting our students where they need to be – in the classroom, surrounded by educators and friends, feeling challenged and loved.”
From the Washington Teachers’ Union:
“The Washington Teachers’ Union (WTU) is pleased to announce an agreement with DC Public Schools on a Memorandum of Agreement that lays out conditions needed to return to in-person learning. (more…)
