Dear PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

TL;DR Any recommendations for who to contact about someone taking out the trash from around 6 to 6:30 am?

And the “too long” part:

I live in Mt Pleasant (Ward 1) in an apartment building that backs up to a private parking lot for row houses. The row houses have formed an association that pays one of their members to take out the individual trash bins for all of the residents– my guess is somewhere in the range of 20-30 bins. (more…)

Dear PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

Acknowledging you’re a DC- focused entity, BUT I wanted to email a little plea to our local neighbors to consider fostering animals from Prince George’s County. Currently, the county still has a breed ban which means that any dog labeled pit bull can only be adopted or fostered by residents outside the county. Currently pittie advocacy group End PG BSL is hard at work to end the breed ban and improve shelter conditions, and we are hoping for the best for our loyal companions. But until then, like so many shelters, the county shelter is suffering from overcrowding, and is therefore euthanizing all owner-surrenders on intake, and has taken actions such as euthanizing all sick dogs before local partner rescues were able to pull any out. Every other day rescues are getting lists of dogs on the urgent list which are only being given 24-48 hours to find a new home. (more…)


Event

The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Join us afterward for a reception featuring light refreshments (including beer and wine) and an opportunity to chat with the musicians.
