“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone ever had any luck reversing/getting a refund on Uber toll fees on an Uber or Lyft ride from DC to our area?
I recently rode with an Uber driver who did not have an EZPass and chose to take I-66 instead of the toll road which added significant time to the trip. I checked my reciept and was still charged for the toll.
The EZPass is available at no extra cost to Uber drivers and I suppose I’ll be asking or looking for one whenever I board an Uber…”
In a city where everyone seems to be moving at a hundred miles an hour, finding a moment of calm can feel like a luxury. At Luxie Spa, tucked into the heart of Capitol Hill, that luxury is intentional.
Luxie Spa has become one of D.C.’s most talked-about destinations for those who want more than a routine beauty appointment. Combining high-end technique with a personalized touch — creates an experience that feels both indulgent and deeply restorative.

“Dear PoPville,
I moved out of DC in January for school – I did not break my lease, had all of my housemates confirm, and also tried to replace my vacancy (set up two CL postings, forwarded responses to the housemates, etc.). For a couple months now I’ve been trying to get my security deposit back but to no avail. The landlord/rental company has said they aren’t responsible for it but the housemates are refusing to return my deposit. I’ve contacted OAT but wanted to see what are other avenues to consider. This whole situation sucks because I don’t wanna screw the old housemates over (plus small claims court sounds exhausting) but also I need that money!”

Ed. Note: This follows yesterday’s news about nearby neighbor, Declaration “temporarily pausing operations.”
This is a stinger. Last week a reader excitedly wrote in “Hazel is open!”. Alas yesterday they posted on their Instagram:
“Friends and neighbors, our last 2020 dinner service will be this Saturday, October 31st, as we prepare to close for the winter. We have truly enjoyed welcoming you back to the patio these past few weeks, and hope to see your familiar faces these next few nights. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live in 16th Street Heights and I’m wondering if anyone else regularly hears a singular loud boom go off in the evening. I feel like it started in the summer around the time of the nightly protest fireworks, but while the neighborhood fireworks have pretty much stopped, this single loud boom continues. (more…)

Local rising kindergartener, Phin, has advanced to the Top 5 in his group in the national Jr. Ranger Contest, a competition that celebrates children who are passionate about nature, wildlife, and exploration. After making it through earlier rounds with strong family and friend support, Phin is now in 4th place and working toward the top spot needed to move on to the quarterfinals.
The contest encourages kids to engage with the outdoors and highlights their curiosity and love for learning about the natural world. For Phin and his family, this experience has been both exciting and meaningful, made even more special by the encouragement from friends, neighbors, and the broader community.
