The truly awful can also bring out the truly excellent.


Please continue to keep your eyes peeled for the Cremated Remains Stolen by a Package Thief in Shaw

Thanks to Shauna Shepston for sharing:

“My walking around partner today went from his aunts Zoom funeral to his ‘volunteer’ job and then came and walked around the neighborhood to help someone he had never met until today. Within 24 hours of the story posting on PoPville, over twenty neighbors signed up to go out and look this weekend … again most of them have never even met Kevin.

A guy who had this awful thing happen to him and his family this week turned out to be the most lovable, humble and nicest guy ever, even though he would have been totally justified in throwing things and screaming uncontrollably on the street.

As we were looking, a USPS man who was working in the neighborhood recognized Kevin and stopped to tell him he saw the story on the news and was telling everyone he knew to look.

The sanitation workers in the neighborhood also saw the PoPville post and agreed to keep a lookout on their route for Kevin and his family.”

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.
