“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what the scoop is on the fate of the Rock Creek Tennis Center? I was playing there and learned that the management contract expired on Saturday 2/28 with no new contract in sight. This means that as of Sunday, March 1, all classes and clinics are canceled; coaches and contractors lose their jobs; and court access is suspended. At least that’s what the staff told me. They know nothing about what happens next. Do you?”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share a note of thanks about a truly kind Good Samaritan.
Yesterday afternoon (February 5), my son’s daycare had to be evacuated due to a fire alarm at the Natural History Museum. The teachers acted quickly and heroically, getting all of the children out safely. In the rush, they weren’t able to grab coats, and the kids were left shivering on the Mall while waiting for the all-clear.
During that time, a kind woman drove by, stopped, and asked whether the children needed coats. She happened to have several children’s coats in her trunk that she was planning to donate. Without hesitation, she gave them to the kids to help keep them warm. (more…)
