“Dear PoPville,
Just a heads up to folks, a woman knocked on my door today (Friday) and started asking about my Pepco bill. I was working from home and on a call, so I told her I didn’t have time to talk and closed the door. She had handouts, a vest, clipboard, etc, but the whole thing seemed very suspect to me. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine was involved in a bad crash on the unit block (we think) of R st NW around 9pm Saturday night (11/2) on a scooter. He has little recollection of the accident but knows a kind couple came to his rescue until medics arrived and took him to the hospital with a head injury. He is doing ok, but I figured you may be able to help find the couple that helped so he can thank them? Thank you.”
Ed. Note: If you know/are the couple please email me at [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP.
