“Dear PoPville,

I was outside of Starbucks on P Street Sunday waiting for my partner near a man who was sitting and loudly, not forcefully, asking for help/money. A male server from Logan Tavern with a purple handkerchief walked up to him, gave him some cash, knelt down to give him a hug and the two shared some seemingly meaningful conversation. It really was the best display of human compassion I’ve seen in a long time.”
