“Dear PoPville,
The headphone snatchers are still out on the MBT. A week ago I was walking on the MBT at night near the Eckington Dog Park and two teens rode by on a Lime electric bike. A woman coming the other way yelled something and said they had just grabbed her air pods. I don’t know if she got them back but they took off so it’s unlikely.

A farewell note from the folks at Present Company Public House:
“To our wonderful community,
