“Dear PoPville,
I was on the train home from NYC on Thursday sitting across from someone who also got off in DC. Chit chatted a bit on a few things and I got the feeling maybe(?) he was looking for openings to talk more. Tired from travel and trying to wrap up some work on my computer, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
The headphone snatchers are still out on the MBT. A week ago I was walking on the MBT at night near the Eckington Dog Park and two teens rode by on a Lime electric bike. A woman coming the other way yelled something and said they had just grabbed her air pods. I don’t know if she got them back but they took off so it’s unlikely.

“Dear PoPville,
Felicia is a local senior high school student, the president of her Student Government Association, and a recipient of the Stephen Joel Trachtenberg Scholarship, which awards a full ride at GWU to just ten DC high school students each year.
