“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I dropped our ballots off in our neighborhood drop box (in front of the local library) on Monday, but the DC board of elections tracking page still doesn’t show our ballots as received. Any guidance from DC about how long we should wait before we start to panic? We thought the drop boxes were picked up daily!” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I recently got into a car crash on New Jersey Avenue and O Street, NW around 8:45 pm on Sunday 10/11/20. It was a hit and run so I’m trying to find the car / driver that messed my car up. All we know is that it was a red Mercedes sedan and it should have scratches running up the driver side of it. Anyone with information can text me at (443)-878-0214 or email me at [email protected].”

Thanks to a reader for sending: “ran by the Brooks Brothers store on Connecticut in Dupont, and appears that a number of “Retail space available” signs went up over the weekend. Website confirms the location is now closed permanently. Between this and the Georgetown location closure, may be the death knell for Brooks Brothers in DC.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My kids are very eager to know whether we’ll be trick-or-treating this year and I have no idea what to tell them, so I’d be curious to hear whether neighbors in petworth plan to give out candy or whether I should start downplaying expectations for them.”
Ed. Note: The photo above was sent from Woodley Park where you drop the candy down the tube so the kids don’t have to walk up the stairs. Other cool things I’ve heard is neighbors hiding candy on their lawns so kids don’t have to go to the door.
