“Dear PoPville,
I have a house that is located in the Shaw/ Logan Circle area and I have steps that have been in place since 1890. The Steps are now showing their age and they need some serious repair although we have been in the house since 1964 they’re beginning to lean in one direction. Could the community help me in deciding who to get to do the work. Your answer will be greatly appreciated.”

Legally, any vehicle with two or more unpaid tickets (of any kind of violation) older than 60 days is eligible for boot and tow. (more…)
