“Dear PoPville,

My friend and I were sitting at the bar of Bier Baron on Monday night when you came in and asked the bartender if it was open mic night. It wasn’t but I’m glad you wandered in (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was on a walk through Malcolm X park this morning (Saturday Sept 11) around 11:15 and passed a woman in a Maryland Terps hat in walking in the opposite direction a few times, making eye contact and smiling a few times.

If you are her….same time again tomorrow? Maybe we can take a few laps together.

“Dear PoPville,

You were out running on Nevada Ave NW, near Chevy Chase, DC, this morning (Wednesday) around 8:30am, wearing a grey shirt, black shorts, and a blue hat (I appreciate it wasn’t backwards). I was walking my dog as you passed by. I should’ve said hi but hadn’t had my coffee yet, so my brain was working slowly.

If you’re interested in grabbing that cup of coffee, let me know.”

Early afternoon on Saturday (September 5), I was out on the MTB trails in Fountainhead Regional Park riding with my sister. You were the gentleman on a purple/maroon full suspension with an orange (I think) shirt riding solo. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I have run into James ( I hope I remember your name!) no less than 10 times in my building. We would run into each other in the elevator, the gym, up on the rooftop, all over the building.

I never built up the courage to exchange information with him, but I promised myself the next time I saw him, I would do so. Well, of course, then I did not run into him again, and I went home to Atlanta for a few months. When I returned, there he was again! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I ran into the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen around 8:45 this morning (Monday) outside Elle in Mt Pleasant. She had wavy blonde hair and bangs and was carrying a dark-colored bike helmet. We chatted very briefly but I didn’t get her #. Can you help me with this missed connection?”

In search of a boy with a mustache that I met at Takoda last night. He was wearing a grey shirt. He kept telling me I looked like Maggie Gyllenhaal. I wish I got his number. Help a friend out?”
