By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I was walking my puppy with my friend at the Washington Monument Friday (2/26) around 4pm and a cute guy came up to us with his white terrier pup Benji. My dog was petrified but Benji was adorable and so sweet. If you’re the 6 foot-ish., blonde man that was wearing a blue jacket I’d love to meet up again w our pups!”

For those curious about passed missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.

“Does anyone have ideas for places to take recycling for drop off when living in a building that does not properly recycle?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I live in a small multi-unit building (4 units) which qualifies us for private contracted trash pick-up. The other day I watched the trash truck come by and realized that they threw the contents of the recycling bin into the trash truck along with the contents of the two trash bins. I was afraid this might be happening since most multifamily buildings often have such contaminated recycling.”
