“Dear PoPville,
About 6 pm, I was walking up 11th Street NW. At Girard Street, I witnessed a multi-car accident (at least four moving vehicles involved, some parked cars hit, a biker nearly hit, etc.) This was kind of scary, especially because one of the vehicle’s airbags deployed, a woman got out of that vehicle and was yelling, “please come help, I have baby and my daughter inside, please help [add understandable panic here].” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m a member of the Stonewall Bocce League, an all-inclusive, LGBT Bocce League. Last night was our first game, and an MPD Officer comes up (I didn’t get his name), and asks if he can toss a ball! He actually did really well, and helped our team out quite a bit that round! Kudos to this police officer for making our evening so fun, and for being an ally! Makes me proud to live in a city with a police force that not only works to keep its citizens safe, but also is committed to engaging with the community.”
