“Dear PoPville,
I don’t know where else to put this but I wanted to say thank you to the kind person who helped me move my bike and check on me after I crashed on Friday night. It was between 22nd and 23rd on N St. NW a little after 7. I was very flustered and feel like I either forgot to thank you properly or not enough. It was very, very kind and I appreciated the help – I was a bit worse for ware in the moment.”
