“Dear PoPville,
Anybody know what’s happening on 7th street and Jackson NE? There was a helicopter circling low for about an hour at 6:15 this morning and now an entire street is blocked off. Fire people just said “police incident.”
Update: “MPD is on the scene of a barricade situation in the 600 block of Hamlin Street, Northeast. MPD’s Emergency Response Team is on the scene. Please avoid the area as we work to resolve the incident.”

Your summer nights are about to get a lot more adventurous. Beginning June 27th, join us after hours at the National Geographic Museum of Exploration for a brand-new series of evening events. Here’s a first look at what’s coming up:
Grand Opening Weekend: Evening Street Fair
Celebrate the Museum of Exploration’s Grand Opening with a one-night-only, after-hours marketplace inspired by street festivals, night markets and bazaars around the world.
This FREE event will feature live music and DJ sets that bring the museum to life, along with food and beverage for purchase from international street food vendors and outdoor bars. Plus, hear from a National Geographic photographer on the fascinating stories behind their work.
Gather with friends, explore flavors from around the world, dance to live music under starlight and explore in a whole new way.
Join us on June 27 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Exhibition Showcase: Red, White & Blue
Exhibition Showcases are special evening events that bring National Geographic exhibitions to life through storytelling, conversation and performance. This summer we celebrate our premier exhibition, “Red, White & Blue”.
The evening will begin with a cocktail reception in Explorers Eatery alongside talks from featured Explorers and photographers. You will then explore our photography galleries for an exclusive private viewing. The experience will culminate with live performance inspired by the exhibition on view, offering time to explore the work in a unique way.
These celebrations end with FREE access to the Courtyard Nighttime Experience.

“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping you might share posts like this – near the Quick Stop on 14th and Euclid I found (for once) someone’s important lost jewelry. The wedding ring looks like it’s been worn for many many years, but also looks like it’s been out on the ground for a while as it’s muddy from the recent storm.
I got it out of the rain and safe, it’s somewhat distinct in design so if the owner can reach out and describe it I’d be happy to return it to its owner.
Thanks!”
If you think it’s yours please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
Thanks to Claire for sending this classic – anyone know what make that is?
