“Dear PoPville,
I am moving into a row home in early September and I was wondering if folks could share any DC-specific tips/tricks/suggestions for homeownership. For example, my friend told me that I only had a limited time to request free/new trash bins from the city, which I would never have known otherwise! Are there any other “only-in-DC” things I should be aware of?”
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before The Honorable Callie Pigeon and Delilah Dentata are admonished to draw near.
Callie and Delilah, “Attorneys at Law”*, hereby summon you to a burlesque and variety “tribute” to crime, justice, and lovers of both!
If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share 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.

“Dear PoPville,
My fiancé and I are looking for an officiant who will marry a non-Muslim to a Muslim in a traditional Muslim wedding ceremony. Does anyone know of someone? The ceremony will be Zoom based so they don’t need to be local.”

“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what’s going on at the Columbia Heights Chick Fil A? It was closed yesterday and again today, but no indication on why…”
Another reader shares: “All the lights are out and no sign on the door. But if you go in the app it says “unforeseen circumstances” and that’s all.”

“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I are moving out of our current apartment and, as per our lease, had to give 60 days’ notice. Our landlords indicated they intend to pretty immediately list and start showing the apartment, while we are still in it. Now, we have never had landlords try to show an apartment we were still living in, though I know this is their right and is not entirely uncommon. While normally it would just be inconvenient, during a global pandemic, it’s pretty scary to envision strangers tromping through our apartment where we both work and live (and are basically at home 24/7 these days!) and it also feels particularly pointless because I think the odds of people seeing our increasingly messy and cluttered apartment as we ourselves prepare to move out will not be particularly appealing to any potential future renters. On top of everything, I am also pregnant, which my landlords are aware of (and apparently do not care). (more…)
