“Dear PoPville,
No idea why they were strung up in Soapstone Creek, or what language is used. Perhaps some of your readers will know. One POSSIBLE clue – they were placed near the spot where a Hare Krishna set up a tent last summer. No tent now.”
Ed. Note: These are Tibetan prayer flags right? (more…)
The Soapstone Valley Trail is one of the primary routes I use to go east/west on my Walkabouts. It is looking especially lovely these days and you ought to hit it too from time to time for an easy little hike to restore your soul. It leads right into Rock Creek for even more awesome hikes for those looking for longer excursions.

“Dear PoPville,
I live in the Forest Hills neighborhood. I’ve noticed something while walking my dog in the neighborhood. I’m a man of color with a larger dog (50/60 lbs) and I’ve noticed that when walking my sweet, friendly mutt down the street that white people go out of their way to cross the street or to avoid me entirely. At first I thought, hey maybe they think my dog isn’t friendly or maybe their dog isn’t friendly, so when approaching them, I’ll be sure to say “He’s very friendly,” but I’m almost always ignored or they say their dog isn’t nice. I wouldn’t second guess this but more often than not I notice that those same people allow their dog to meet and greet other dogs (often times bigger than mine) of white owners.
Today [yesterday], I felt was a more egregious moment. (more…)
