“Dear PoPville,
Trying to find the guy who helped me out BIG time this morning by saving my dog:
I was awoken to my surprise this morning around 8am by my dog and you (guy in backwards St. Louis Cardinals hat, out of breathe from running after dog) at my front stoop. (more…)
A longshot but:
“Dear PoPville,
A few years ago, during an office move, (the building was at 1120 19th St NW / Dupont Circle. I was abroad and could not move my paintings and when I came back they were gone.) I lost two paintings that I got in Haiti—artworks that hold deep sentimental and cultural value to me. Despite my best efforts, their whereabouts remain unknown.

“Dear PoPville,
I was an election worker in 2024 during the primary and general elections, and I have worked every election since the pandemic to ensure that older workers who needed to stay home were replaced. It was overall a great experience over the years, but now it is tax season. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I loved your post “Small gestures”. I experienced something similar myself.
After a rough day navigating executives orders, I met a friend at Boqueria to unwind. As we talked about the dark cloud looming over our agencies- (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
On Sunday around noon at Duke’s Counter in Woodley Park, I benefited from a random act of kindness and need to thank the two very generous people responsible. I was telling my bartender buddy about my early forced retirement coming Monday and the impossible situation of trying to work through a funding freeze. (more…)
