“Dear PoPville,
I believe it must have slipped off at or around the northwest corner of Park Road NW and 11th Street NW (outside of Meridian Pint). I’m crushed by the loss of this very sentimental item and if by some miracle one of your readers finds it I would be eternally grateful if they could notify you [[email protected]] or return it to Meridian Pint. It is a tungsten wedding band with a subtle rose gold inlay. There is some sort of manufacturer’s mark on the inside but otherwise no markings. Thank you!”

Thanks to Wendy for sending word that Columbia Heights’ new Old Navy had opened last night in DC USA. I know it’s not a local cilantro purveyor that some have been pining for but still pretty good news.
