“Dear PoPville,
My partner and I are looking to get engaged and married in the next few months and could really use some jewelry store recommendations. We’d rather not buy online or from a big chain store, if possible, but are looking to get a good deal and help out a local business. Because of covid, we’ve avoided roaming into store unnecessarily. We’re looking for a traditional diamond engagement ring and gold wedding bands, and possibly someone who creates custom jewelry pieces using gold/gems from pieces we won’t wear but have sentimental meaning. For example, my grandmother left me rings that are way too big for me and not my style but could be repurposed (I think) into something I would wear. I know I could trade in the gold and buy design a new piece with the stones and new gold, but I’d rather not.
Really hoping someone out there can help us. We understand of the engagement/wedding rings are easier to get from a big store but figured it was worth a shot asking this group.”
Hosted by DC nonprofit Archaeology in the Community, this annual festival gathers archaeologists and other heritage-related professionals from across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region to share the stories, science, and the discoveries that shape our understanding of the past. Taking place as part of DC Archaeology Month in June, the festival offers a full day of engaging experiences designed especially for kids and families.

“Dear PoPville,
I was laid off and received a severance payment at the beginning of August. My understanding is that unemployment office needs to verify the credibility of severance before continuing with weekly UI payments but will issue back pay for the weeks it took to verify the severance payment. This is what I was reassured by a number of operators when I called the unemployment hotline throughout the summer and early fall.
I filled out the initial fact finding survey to verify my severance, but then in November I was told to fill out another fact finding survey and then again in December. Calling the hotline doesn’t get me anywhere really because the phone operators obviously don’t have the power to clear what’s holding up my case. (more…)
