Services information is here, and Hopscotch will not be reopening, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

In light of the PSA you shared on 1/13/23, I wanted to let you know that my lock box was broken into on 1/17/23 (possibly 1/16/23). The plastic on the facade was cracked open (somehow), keys removed & MIA, and shoved full with toilet paper?! My lock box was a generic brand. Notably, my neighbors’ MasterLock lock boxes appear to be untouched. Don’t know if that really means anything but I will be upgrading!”
