“Dear PoPville,
How in the hell do we get off the Post Marketplace mailing list? We never signed up for it, we don’t even have a subscription to the newspaper and they constantly are spamming our physical inbox with it. Waste of paper & ink, and they go into our recycling without being looked at.”
Anyone ever successfully opt out of this mailing?

Thanks to Kristen for sharing:
“I ran an errand to Bed Bath and Beyond in Chinatown and the cashier told me that as of today they are a “liquidation store” and that they will be closing (I didn’t get the date). I told her I didn’t know that and she said that employees had just heard today themselves. I am not heartbroken by the store closing, but I definitely feel bad for the employees, especially this time of year. Thought I would share especially after what happened with La Tasca across the street.”

Thanks to all who passed on the sad news from Sixth & I:

While the damage to the building is minimal and will be fixed quickly, the emotional scars of such a hateful act will take longer to heal. (more…)
