“Corgis in Backpacks at the downtown holiday market – My daughter spotted a couple with their two dogs in backpacks at the Downtown Holiday Market today. Owners were very nice and bent over to let her pet them.”
“Dear PoPville,
I recently moved into an english basement of a tenant occupied rowhouse. Since the property was originally designed for a single family, there are 2 small trash bins and one larger recycling bin (it’s too small of a street to use the supercans). These are clearly insufficient for use by two families, and it means one of the units is often having to wait (up to a week) with trash or recycling in their units as the cans are full.
Has anyone had luck getting an answer from DC on if an extra can is allowed in situations like this? The website is less than helpful, and not surprisingly, calling hasn’t returned any answers.”

“On the heels of Saturday’s anti-Semitic attack in New York, Mayor Muriel Bowser met with local religious leaders to discuss immediate and long-term solutions to combatting anti-Semitism. In addition to religious leaders, the Mayor was joined by members of her Interfaith Council and leadership from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA), and the Mayor’s Office of Religious Affairs.
The Mayor has charged MPD with increasing their presence at synagogues as well as taking other, less visible, measures to protect DC’s Jewish community. Additionally, the Mayor has directed DC HSEMA with assisting congregations with reviewing their security plans. Both agencies will support congregations in updating their plans as necessary. Following the meeting, Mayor Bowser released the following statement: (more…)
To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories.

“Dear PoPville,
My boyfriend and I were followed and harassed by a homeless man last night around the Logan/Dupont area.
