“Dear PoPville,
An update for anyone wondering about the kitten that was in the ceiling of the Chinatown metro entrance at 7th & F. I know a lot of people were working to help him over the past week. He’s in good health, is very sweet, and is getting pretty comfortable in his new home. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My husband was hit by a car going in reverse while we were walking in a crosswalk at a 4 way stop, right outside 9:30 club – the corner of V & 8th. It happened around 12:45am and the plate was Virginia.”
The driver rolled down the window to ask if he was okay- when I said no, he sped off.
Any chance you might be able to post asking for anyone to submit any info/photos/video they may have?”
