“Outdoor activity list?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Given the current COVID situation, I’d love to learn what COVID-safe activities people have discovered in the city – for example, I’ve heard of other cities that have links to graffiti art tours or other sorts of walking tours. I’m also aware of some cities that are starting various scavenger hunts for kids. I’m sure that people have found some good activities, and – if you agree – it’d be awesome if you might post this sort of question to solicit some great ideas.”

“Ways to help seniors get vaccinated?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I keep reading about senior citizens having trouble getting vaccine appointments because it’s all online, and then they have to drive somewhere. There must be a way I (a healthy & capable internet user with a car) could help, but googling this has proven futile. Anyone have any ideas or resources? Orgs I could contact? #justwanttohelp”
