“Dear PoPville,
It’s raining men! It’s actually not, which is why I was particularly excited to notice one today (Wednesday, 1/25) who held my attention. During the early afternoon rain shower, I was walking up 12th Street towards downtown. Near Department of Justice,
I saw a man standing under both a tree and an umbrella. As I waited at the Pennsylvania Avenue intersection for the walk signal to cross, we caught each other’s eye and I assumed we were heading in the same direction. After making it a block, I looked back and realized he hadn’t moved — perhaps he was waiting for a car? Appeared to be tall, mid 30s and wearing a black coat over a suit with a black umbrella. He may not live in DC nor be available, yet hoping the PoPville community pulls through and doesn’t rain on my parade!”

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. For those curious about past missed connections, many have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made. A few folks reached out to attend the Yelle concert with the French popstar edition MC.

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.
