“Dear PoPville,
I’ve snagged a few suits on sale in the past few months. I don’t know when I’ll wear them again, but I do know I need them tailored.
Does anyone have experience with having alterations done since the pandemic started? Do you have a place you could recommend? Is this something tailors are even doing right now? I don’t relish the idea of going in for an alteration, but if there are good protocols for mitigation, I could feel comfortable.
What experiences have you had?”

Would love to know what opportunities people have found to volunteer on Election Day other than being a poll worker? I have heard of people working phone banks, driving folks to polling places, etc. but have not been able to find much info on those kinds of opportunities online.”

“Dear PoPville,
I need help with my apartment building. I live in Senate Square, and I’m at my wit’s end. The compliance with distancing and parties has been getting increasingly bad in our complex. However, the worst is the fact that a unit down the hall has been getting rented out on Airbnb for the entirety of the pandemic. Several times, it’s been the site of large (30+ people) parties, no distancing or masks, tons of loud music, people partying in the halls, yada. Other residents have held similarly-sized, loud parties on the roof. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live on 7th&F, not far from H St Whole Foods. In NE DC we have been facing days of power fluctuations. 5+ times a day the electricity goes out. It’s only for a second, but enough to reset the internet, which is not ideal in this era of Work From Home zoom meetings. Pretty awkward to get kicked out of work calls in the middle of a presentation. My neighbors and I have been calling Pepco, but this continues. (2 cases already today). Thought I would reach out to the PoPville community – have others been experiencing this? Any suggestions?
Update: Just had our 3rd outage of the morning…”
