“Dear PoPville,
I was at the bar at Rappahannock at The Wharf on Monday, June 6 trying to enjoy the beautiful weather, my new library book, and some oysters when a drunken guest wouldn’t leave me alone. After about 10 minutes of pestering questions, another patron- who I later learned was named Morgan- stepped up and told the man off, telling him I just wanted to read my book (so true, thank you Morgan)!
Morgan even waited until I closed out to make sure I was able to leave the restaurant safely. We had a brief conversation outside of Rappahannock- his name is Morgan, he lives in Baltimore, and he was there to go to the Sigur Ros show at the Anthem. I was still a little shaken from my encounter with said drunken man and didn’t ask Morgan for his contact information. He really stepped up when I needed him and was very nice to wait and ensure my safety (and bonus- he was super cute, too!). It’s probably a long shot that he would even read this since he lives in Baltimore, but stranger things have happened! If anyone knows Morgan from Baltimore, please let me know!
Sincerely,
Woman who reads at bars”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
