“Dear PoPville,
We in the neighborhood are incredibly excited about this prospect. The now vacant lot is owned and managed by the city. For years it has been a veritable trash heap. I had been working with the city for months to clean up the site.

“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday morning, June 17th, around 7:45 AM I was jogging and was bitten by a dog. This happened on Willard St. NW between 18th and 17th St. The dog lunged across the sidewalk and bit me on my upper rib cage. The dog was a large gray or black poodle/doodle.
