“Dear PoPville,
I realize this is a long shot but I’m so sad and desperate for any help. I was out at Red Derby Friday night and Saturday morning realized I didn’t have my ring with me. It’s a gold ring with garnets on it. It belonged to my grandma who passed away in September and I am heartbroken about losing it. I walked from Red Derby to Otis Place via Spring Road.”
If by miracle someone found it please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP!

“I’m over by southwest this morning and there were what sounded like rhythmic explosions happening. I thought it was thunder at first, but then realized it was like every four seconds. Went on for about 10-15 minutes. Any idea what that’s about??”
Sounds like too much for cannon practice. Maybe construction related? Anyone know what’s up?
Thanks to George for sending this great from Hill East.

Update: “Dear PoPville,
My wife and I ate at El Presidente tonight (fantastic) and parked in the Batley/La Cosecha garage (1270 4th St NE), which I believe is the garage referenced. It still offers three hours of free parking.
We entered at 7:35 p.m. and left at 8:41 p.m., and were not charged when we scanned our ticket on exit.” (more…)
