Thanks to all who passed on the GoFundMe for Sakina Halal Grill:
“Kazi Manan introduced a new model of empathy and kindness in America when he opened his restaurant to every person who needs a refuge from their daily hunger. He has never differentiated between a paying or non-paying customer as he is constantly aware of his journey to success – and the difficulties along the way. Sakina Halal Grill has proudly served meals to the homeless independently and unsupported by any donations from patrons. He has always refused the offers as Sakina Halal Grill has been able to sustain this mission with its own funds and the prayers of the community. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m planning to get a Covid test this week before traveling for Thanksgiving, and I was wondering if the city’s response time has gotten slower now that cases are on the rise and more people are probably getting tested. I’m planning to get a test Thursday or Friday ahead of a Monday flight and want to be sure I’ll have the results in time. I think that would be okay, but what have people’s experiences been lately?”
