“Dear PoPville,
I have a question for the readership about DDOT No Parking permits. I’m moving out of an apartment that doesn’t have a loading dock, so I applied for and received a standard DDOT No Parking Permit for a moving truck. I applied for the permit on 7/22 for an 8/31 move out day. My permit is good for one day from the hours of 7am to 4pm. I went to the police station to print the signs on 8/9. So far, feeling pretty good and happy that I’m ahead of the game…
Just yesterday, No Parking signs were posted on my street effective for 8/20 – 8/31 for “Local Paving by DC/DDOT/GOVT”. These signs say they were printed on 8/15 – after I applied for and printed my permit. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m bringing live, covid-safe jazz performances to people’s yards. Restaurants and clubs in DC and MD are prohibited from having live music, even if it’s outside. But you are allowed to have musicians play in your yard at your home, and you are allowed to have a limited number of guests. So that’s what we’re doing.
I’m the music director at WOWD Takoma Radio and was bringing jazz shows back to Takoma Station when the pandemic hit. The shutdown of live performances has been very unfortunate for music fans, but it’s been terrible for the working musicians themselves who depend on live performance, along with teaching, for their livelihoods. Livestream performances are nice, but they don’t bring in much money and there’s nothing like the real thing for both the musicians and fans.
So, inspired by what Creative Alliance, the non-profit arts organization, is doing in Baltimore, we’re sponsoring YardWork Concerts. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping to crowdsource a question about buying a bike. I’ve been thinking about it for a while and would like to move forward. I’m a bike newbie and definitely not high-maintenance. All I want is something I can ride around DC safely. I’m looking in the $300 tops range but I’ve heard that might be idealistic? Are there any discount bike stores in the District you know of? I would do Craiglist but with Ms. Rona out and about I’m nervous to take that route (no pun intended).”

“Dear PoPville,
We have a lot of random office/school supplies that aren’t necessarily accepted for donation at most organizations. Think notebooks with half the pages ripped out, used pens, heavy resume paper, etc. Are there any organizations that accept and want this type of donation? My hope is that someone could use them at a nonprofit or really anywhere. We don’t have kids and have already repurposed whatever we can.”
