“Dear PoPville,

I lost a gold ring sometime Monday (4/21) or Tuesday (4/22). Possible locations are Gallery Place, Dupont Circle, and Cleveland Park metro stations, Dacha Beer Garden at 7th & Q St,, Q St. NW between 7th St. and Connecticut, and Porter St. between Connecticut and 34th St. It’s gold with a distinctive shape. It has a lot of sentimental value.”

Please send on any info to me via email at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP.


Announcement

An experience reserved for those who appreciate the finest things in life.


Dear PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

I have been a resident of Highview and Castle Manor in Columbia Heights for since May 2020. I learned last week that I have paid $9,000 in “air conditioning unit fees” ($150/month) that other residents are not charged (of 8 I’ve spoken to, none of them pay it). These two ancient AC units don’t run during winter have had no maintenance, and cost less than $250 brand new. It’s completely unreasonable to expect this to come out to $9,000 over the course of five years. (more…)
