“Dear PoPville,
I’m tired of construction companies and DDOT running this city without consideration for residents. This Fort Meyer crew showed up and started digging enough to shake our houses at 7:52am. These signs aren’t even legal! Anyone else tired of dealing with construction? Can’t they finish a street before they start another one? I reported it to 311 and it will be investigated by June 9th.”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m loving the fact that I now live right in the center of a craft district, so I wanted to do my small part in promoting these amazing businesses in the Manor Park/Brightwood neighborhoods. See the event details below. I hope they get a huge turn out, and I hope beer, cider, and spirit hopping in our neighborhood becomes a thing!” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I witnessed a dog hit and run this morning (Monday 11/15) on the corner of 3rd and Oglethorpe NW. A couple of us passerbys stopped to help the woman and her dog, who looked to be in very critical condition. One very kind woman offered to take the woman and her dog somewhere for help. I wanted to say thank you to that woman for showing such amazing kindness to this lady and her pup. (more…)
