“Dear PoPville,
You let me pet your Great Dane, Dapple, for a solid 10 minutes at 18th & Mass Ave NW this past Tuesday. I spent about 6 of those minutes trying to work up the courage to ask for your number but obviously failed so now making an attempt at a second chance using the more cowardly/courageous (really not sure which, anyone care to weigh in using the comments section? thanks!) route of the internet. Hope this works!”
Ed. Note: If this is you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. For those curious about past missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.

“Dear PoPville,
We’ve sadly seen Sichuan Pavilion- our favorite Sichuan restaurant around hands down- has not reopened yet, even for takeout- we call pretty much every week (desperate!) and get a message that they are still closed. Has anyone heard anything about this wonderful spot? Hoping they are OK, but this extended shutdown has us worried.” (more…)

Thanks to all who replied about National Women’s Suffrage Month-those are suffrage colors. It’s the centennial of the 19th Amendment.
From the Library of Congress:
“Counting Down with #19Suffrage Stories: 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment
Women fought long and hard for the vote–before and after the passage of the 19th Amendment, which declares the right to vote “shall not be denied … on account of sex.” Diverse communities and organizations blazed the trail for equal voting rights across the nation. For many women, especially women of color, the fight didn’t end when the 19th Amendment went into effect on August 26, 1920. Yet the stories of these suffragists have often been overlooked. (more…)

Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 12,443 total positives.
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Wednesday, August 5, 2020 includes 75 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 12,518.
The District reported no additional COVID-19 related deaths.
Tragically, 587 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.
The community spread chart is subject to fluctuation because the data is based on symptom onset date. As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m in an old rowhome, and while the sound between neighbors with our brick walls is fine, we have bedrooms on top of each other where you can hear EVERYTHING.
I’m determined to find a solution and I’m curious if anyone has added insulation between their ceilings and floors and if they had success?
Because most old ceiling/walls are plaster in DC, I’ve been told by contractors that adding insulation can be dangerous as plaster will attract too much moisture. (more…)
