Will be late to work as I had to drive around finding a place to park

“Dear PoPville,
There have been emergency no parking signs posted on the 1600 block of Kalorama NW for a construction setup area for the past 2 weeks, but no vehicles or equipment has been placed there during that time. There was construction on the sidewalk nearby that area a few weeks ago, but since that initial work, I have not seen any construction activity. (more…)
Thanks to Michele for sending from Columbia Heights.
Caption contest time – go!
“Dear PoPville,
Hey there! I came outside to this gem left on my car on Chapin Street NW this morning. Parking is tight there since it’s all residential, but I have a bumper guard on and a very tiny car, because, you know, city living!

Thanks to Zach for sharing the reminder: “After 39.5 consecutive months, the hard-copy 2020 Annual Visitor Parking Pass will no longer be valid beginning Sunday, April 16, 2023!”
Good luck with the Park DC portal for permits, hopefully the transition goes smoothly…

Update from the Department of For-Hire Vehicles:
“The Department of For-Hire Vehicles, which regulates taxicabs, limos, and ride-hailing companies in the District, allows residents of Maryland and Virginia to operate in the District. One requirement is to display a taxi vehicle tag issued by the District. In the past, some taxicabs had tags issued both by the District and their home jurisdiction. That is why you may occasionally see taxicabs with two tags.”
