“Dear PoPville,
Stopped by Donut Run this morning and saw that someone broke their window. Their Instagram says that someone also stole their BLM flag which was prominently displayed, which they are asking to be returned to them.
Not sure who would do something so horrible to a really well-loved local business in the community. Wishing them well as they clean up and recover and also will definitely stop by for donuts first thing when they reopen!”
Thanks to all who passed this sad post from Donutrun’s IG:
“CLOSED FRIDAY, APRIL 2⠀

Someone really wanted donuts this morning! We are closed today to clean up our shop. ⠀

P. S. To whoever took our Black Lives Matter flag, please bring it back. We’ll gladly make you your own one.”
Let’s show them some love when they reopen!! “7am – 2pm” (more…)

“Hook Hall, Park View’s massive community gathering space, has been transformed into a profusion of pinks as everyone’s favorite backyard has been turned into a Celebrate the Blossoms theme with Tea House cabanas and rows of Garden Tables surrounded by pink blossomed trees and décor.

Enclosed Tea Houses afford private seating with plush pillows and a large center table.
