Have a delicious and safe Thanksgiving.

But obviously this is not a year for celebration. This is a year of perseverance. There have been more ups and downs this year to last a lifetime. And obviously we are not out of the woods yet. PoPville has become a place where people come, especially in times of tumult and uncertainty, to find out what is going on in their neighborhoods. And that is because of the community as a whole. That is because of you. When folks come here and to our social media pages it is because you guys have reported what you are seeing. I simply amplify it. But together we get answers.

Together we also support each other when we are down. It’s been a tough year for “togetherness”. I hope we, our District, and our country are able to bridge some of the many divides that have erupted this year (and before.) I hope our 15th year is a year of healing, literally and figuratively. We do not celebrate this year because so many are hurting, some are still dying. People are angry and rightfully so. I try to find the positive as often as possible but I will not ignore the negative. I only hope that 2021 becomes the year we start turning the tanker. I hope 2021 is the beginning of genuine action and ultimately healing. I hope 2021 eventually becomes a year of celebration. But until then we must remember to wear a mask, we must remember that Black Lives Matter and we must remember to vote.

With deepest sincerity, thank you for being a part of PoPville, thank you for persevering with us. Thank you for making it all possible.

Our regular posting schedule will resume when we return from our afternoon constitutional.

I’m anticipating further clarity and details about the 7pm curfew as well an update on coronavirus data.

Please continue sending your questions/tips/photos/etc. to [email protected] or @PoPville on social media. Thank you. And let me say again – the power is on. But I am hearing that Trader Joe’s is closing at 6pm tonight…

This new world we’re living in is still taking shape but the realities of what’s coming are well known. It is no secret that a sledgehammer is coming to hit me and other local media too. I have been really lucky in that I have a little safety net due to those who’ve already been Patreon supporters. Since I am a one man show you guys are my only safety net, there is nobody else to fall back on. These past days have been a blur as I try to manage the site, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram…and my kids. But through it all I’ve seen good humor, support and amazing bonds that have been built over 13 years. These past days have shown that we are an amazing community and we have each others back.

For those who’ve already had my back I can’t thank you enough. Times are about to get way tougher. For many obviously. But if you have found PoPville to be a valuable resource, and you have a steady job with a steady paycheck and only if that’s the case, please consider contributing so that our community will not be in jeopardy in the future. Fortunately we are a HUGE community – so if enough of us give only $2 or $5 a month or whatever you feel comfortable giving it will make a huge difference. Like always, we will get through this together. Thank you. Please be safe and hope to see many of you on the other side toasting the insanity we have just endured, together.
