“Dear PoPville,
Early Saturday morning our house was unfortunately subject to an awful act of verbal, homophobic hate, and destruction, which we painfully witnessed from in our home while anxiously waiting on the Metropolitan Police Department to respond to our duress.
The incident was saddening & shocking, but I wanted to send out a sincere thank you to not only the MPD, who handled the matter seriously and efficiently, but to the good Samaritans we witnessed confront the aggressor and then
gathered our property he destroyed and returned it to our doorstep.
Whom ever the group of you are, we are deeply touched and thank you greatly for your allyship and humanity!”

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.
