Pablo in Columbia Heights

“Dear PoPville,

Their PR people responded to my query with:

“we don’t have any new timing updates to share at the moment, but will round back when we do.”

Love That Sidewalk From Popeyes.

Ed. Note: Feel free to shout out others here who deserve praise, or others for their SIDEWALKS of SHAME…

And this time it’s not simply for their delicious mouthwatering chicken at a reasonable price. Thanks to Matt for sending their magnificent snow cleanup – unlike their disgraceful neighbor 7-E. In a world of sidewalks of shame, let’s recognize the righteous – well done Popeyes, well done indeed. (more…)
