Missed Connections – Walking the pup and Logan Hardware


Photo by Jim Havard

“Dear PoPville,

Going for a long shot. I was walking my tiny pup with a friend on Tuesday night (5/18) around 10pm on the corner of 14th and T NW when we stopped to pet a cute pup named Otto, who happened to have a cute guy for a human. Otto was having some trouble staying focused on his walk, and his human laughed and thanked us for petting his dog, which was pretty adorable. I was the tall blonde girl probably creepily focused on your dog.

Anyway, any chance you’re single and want to walk our dogs together? My dog’s terrible at walking too it might just work…”

“Dear PoPville,

Had a missed connection today (Saturday 5/22), at Logan Hardware on 14th St NW around 10:45 am. We were around the plant section and I asked her about her plants and she was very helpful in guiding me to find the right plant for my place.

Me: Male, black mask, black t-shirt, green shorts
Her: rusty brown tank/sleeveless shirt, denim shorts, probably 5’6 – 5’7″

Ed. Note: If this is you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. Rent at your own risk and proceed with caution as you would with all Craigslist listings. For those curious about past missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.
