We didn’t plant them this year, but that didn’t stop them from living their best life. Side note: anyone have a good recipe for trumpet squash?“

“Dear PoPville,
On Saturday 9/2 I was approached by a woman and her family at The Line cafe patio in AdMo, asking me how I was and I froze. I want her to know I’m doing well, and still working to heal.
I knew I recognized her from somewhere. She was the woman who helped me contact the police and my partner after I was beaten by four men on her block because I’m gay about a year and a half ago. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live in Brookland which is parking zone 5. My building offers private parking in a garage but it costs $300/month and the spots are in high demand (there’s a long waiting list). When I got a car recently, I decided to forgo the costly parking garage and take my chances street parking instead. Much to my confusion, I’m being regularly ticketed for parking on my own street.

Seen in Dupont on Sunday. How are these still allowed??”
“Dear PoPville,
I live off corcoran st nw and 16th st nw, and at least 5 times when I’ve been out walking my dog past 10pm, I’ve seen someone open their high up window of this apartment building and dump popcorn all over the sidewalk. Is this a sacrificial offering to the pigeon gods? A new trend? Do they keep watching bad movies that sully their buckets of popcorn??”
