“Dear PoPville,
I was at Sudhouse on Saturday when a guy walked up to me and kept trying to get my attention ( and not in a good way). The bartender repeated asked me if I was ok and I signaled no – they had security escort him out. I was so thankful to the manager there for making sure I was ok. When I walked out of the bar about an hour later the guy followed me down U Street. He had been waiting for me. Luckily one of the guys on the Sudhouse patio noticed this go down and walked me back to bar and away from this creep. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Sunday morning around 10:30 Am I was riding an ebike at 14th and U St, NW and I crashed.
It probably did not appear that bad but with my 3 metal joints I was laying on the ground in severe pain. A nice man walked over picked up the e bike for me and asked if I was OK. I was so embarrassed that I got up and said thank you and told him I was fine when I really just wanted to lay there. Lol
He could have went about his day like everybody else but it’s good to be reminded that there are sweet people in this world. And I just wanted to express my gratitude in that moment.“
