“Dear PoPville,
I want to send some love to El Rinconcito 2 in Columbia Heights. They are a wonderful family business with delicious Salvadorean food, drinks, and a lovely patio. Business has been slow recently due to **all this** and they could use some love. I’d be heart broken to lose this longtime staple. (more…)

From the DC Office of the Attorney General (OAG):
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today issued a Consumer Alert to help inform District residents about predatory practices in the home solar system sales and loan industry.
Because federal tax credits for residential solar systems are ending at the end of 2025, residents may see an uptick in high-pressure sales tactics by salespeople for the home solar system industry. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
There is a local scam going around that has now appeared on several listserves I’ve been on. A person joins a listserve claiming to be a member of the group, e.g. “a 20-something who attends XXX congregation,” then claims that they have a “group rate” for HVAC cleanings of $150. There is indeed a company that shows up and does something if you sign up, but it is tantamount to doing nothing and they are misleading about what services they provide. The original poster then tries to pressure you into signing more people up for the pyramid scheme. More details below. (more…)
