“Dear PoPville,
I got a ticket for parking in my driveway! It reads “obstructing sidewalk grass”. Only there is NO sidewalk. Our block is all grass no sidewalk, never has been. So, how can we be blocking a sidewalk that isn’t there?? It is just grass, how would we know here the invisible “sidewalk” should be anyway??
We have lived in this house for 7 years our neighbors for 30+ NO one has ever gotten a ticket for parking to the end of their driveway. Is parking Enforcement just looking for new problems? Where do I find the rules about this?? Is grass near the street also a sidewalk now?
Wondering if any readers now where to find the answers because I have yet to find anything that references “grass sidewalks” in DC parking code!”

“the reasoning for putting jersey barriers on Georgia thus blocking accessible parking for the CVS?”
Georgia and New Hampshire Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I want to know the reasoning for putting jersey barriers on Georgia thus blocking accessible parking for the CVS. I don’t want to have to cross Georgia Avenue and I would not want to see other seniors taking their lives in their hands having to park across the street from CVS. There has not been a line down the street, the same so-called argument used by DDOT to block parking at the Safeway on Georgia and Randolph. There was no hearing that I am aware of and no public comment period. Now I hear they want to close streets to allow restaurants to shut down public space for social distancing. It seems as if when it comes to the average citizen, with DDOT you have no rights.”
Hosted by DC nonprofit Archaeology in the Community, this annual festival gathers archaeologists and other heritage-related professionals from across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region to share the stories, science, and the discoveries that shape our understanding of the past. Taking place as part of DC Archaeology Month in June, the festival offers a full day of engaging experiences designed especially for kids and families.

Saw this license up at 7th and L where I think that Jeremiah Langhorne restaurant is opening (of the Dabney fame). Looks like it’s French inspired cuisine.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if others had a similar experience to me today, though: when running through Columbia heights/Mt Pleasant, behind the zoo, then back up Harvard street to 16th (notably, passing the construction site on the 1500 block of Monroe st), I developed a burning sensation on my lips, severe eye irritation and a lot of congestion. It’s only subsiding now, an hour or so later.
I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience around there? Of course, could have been something else too.”
