“Dear PoPville,
My partner, a very meticulous person, had an odd thing happen over the holidays and it sounds like a scam. He parked in the parking garage under the Columbia Heights Target. When he went to exit the garage a short time later he put his ticket in the machine and it said the ticket was unable to be read. The staff person at the exit took the ticket and later came back to say the plate number on the ticket didn’t match the license plate of our car and she asked my partner to follow her to the parking office.

Update from a reader: “Leon needs our grace right now, he’s trying really hard to get back on top of his customers’ orders. He was assaulted over the holiday and is having a family emergency. Would we have preferred he put a sign up and let us know how to reach him or when he would be back? Sure. But none of us know what we will be able to handle when something terrible happens and you are the only one running the shop. Leon does good work and he is honest. There are very few cobblers left in the city or anywhere. It’s hard dirty work, and no one is apprenticing anymore. So while we have a few good craftsmen in our city we may need to acknowledge that when something really hard happens in their life, we may not get our shoes on time.”
“Dear PoPville,
Leon’s Shoe Repair in Mt Pleasant is a staple in the neighborhood. He hasn’t been open or there for about a month, (more…)
