“Dear PoPville,

This weekend (7/28) at the Mubadala Citi Open I witnessed a very handsome volunteer usher apologize profusely to a guest for a reason I didn’t catch while passing by. Without thinking, I turned my head and said to him, “never apologize,” and he conceded to the advice but said he was still sorry and we both smile-laughed as I walked away. Now I’m sorry I didn’t stick around a little longer. In the off-chance he’s DMV-based and single I’d love to get a (preferably not overpriced tennis tournament) drink!”

This senior pet has decided to be a stowaway, and while she loves Glover Park, she’s apparently ready for a road trip! LFG, no passport needed…..”

“Dear PoPville,

On Monday (7/29) around 9:10 pm, I was biking on the MBT alone and came across a group of teenagers on the path. I wasn’t able to pass so I was biking behind them but the group stopped walking and a few guys slowly walked toward me asking for directions. They grabbed me and tried to take my belongings but another biker came shortly after and scared them away. A huge thank you to the man who was biking on the MBT Monday night and made sure I was ok! And a reminder to everyone else to be cautious and alert!
