“Dear PoPville,
I was at Big Bear Cafe on Sunday early evening. While I waited for a friend, I overheard you and your two friends chatting. To my delight, an Argento (or possibly an Uruguayo) accent. As a comadre, my ears always perk up and my spirit gets giddy whenever I hear that dead giveaway: the accent from my homeland. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine was involved in a bad crash on the unit block (we think) of R st NW around 9pm Saturday night (11/2) on a scooter. He has little recollection of the accident but knows a kind couple came to his rescue until medics arrived and took him to the hospital with a head injury. He is doing ok, but I figured you may be able to help find the couple that helped so he can thank them? Thank you.”
