“Dear PoPville,

Earlier this week on Monday, June 13, I fell off my bike trying to go up a curb around Dupont Circle and fell. I didn’t have any serious injuries but I hit my mouth and the bleeding made me think my injuries were worse than they were (and note that I was wearing a helmet).

No one was around to see me fall but I flagged down a woman as she was walking out of a building between 21st/22nd st and N St. She helped me call 911 and stayed with me until the ambulance came,

and even locked up my bike for me, which my boyfriend safely retrieved yesterday.

I was a little rattled from the fall so I didn’t get to ask her name, but I’d love to get in contact with her and say thank you personally! If she’s anything like me she was probably running late to go somewhere and I appreciate her taking time to stay with me. Her brief conversation with me helped distract me from panicking.”

If this is you, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll connect you with OP.

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.
