“Sighting of the coffee date predator”

“Dear PoPville,

Wanted to write in to let readers know the man who approaches women on the street asking for a coffee date is still around. 

I was walking super fast on F street NW heading toward 6th Street NW trying to get to the metro when a man stopped me.

He asked if I knew of any Thai or Mexican restaurants in the area. Also made a weird remark about me walking fast; said I had a “terminator walk”. I couldn’t think of any places in the moment and said sorry but told him to head in a different direction where more restaurants are. He then told me he just moved here and lived in DuPont circle. Something felt off and then he asked if I would get coffee with him sometime. I immediately realized he was likely the same guy readers have written in about before told him no thanks. I hustled off and luckily he didn’t push it or follow. 

Just wanted to write in and let everyone to be vigilant of this man, he’s still active. 

Description is he is around 5’10, normal/athletic build. I believe he is white or possibly middle eastern. He wore a blue baseball cap and light puffer jacket. He had a scruff and I think was missing a bottom front tooth.”

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.
