“Dear PoPville,
The headphone snatchers are still out on the MBT. A week ago I was walking on the MBT at night near the Eckington Dog Park and two teens rode by on a Lime electric bike. A woman coming the other way yelled something and said they had just grabbed her air pods. I don’t know if she got them back but they took off so it’s unlikely.

“Dear PoPville,
Trying to figure out a bit of a mystery. The Florian on North Cap and Florida has a sign for an upcoming coffee shop, Cafe Aida. I can’t find anything about it online. There’s a Viennese chain called Aida but no evidence of affiliation. Build out sounds fancy (acoustic ceiling), New York address, but unclear what’s coming.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Earlier this week, seemingly overnight, all signage and fixtures at Eckington Hall disappeared. The Hall is (was?) a quaint local arts and entertainment venue on Quincy Lane. If it’s gone, that’s sad.”
