“Dear PoPville,
I can’t figure out why it’s so hard to find covid boosters. Am I missing something? Are people finding appointments? It feels like 2021 all over again!”

“Wanted to share this 6 foot wax candle of Abraham Lincoln at Garrison elementary school on 11th and S Street, NW. TBD on when/if they will light it.”
