“Dear PoPville,

The Logan Circle neighborhood is overridden with delivery trucks many of which do not follow proper street signage. Today a forty-two foot Sysco truck exiting the alley behind Pearl Dive, Rice and Ghibellina blocked traffic for twenty minutes. Fortunately neighbors were able to stop traffic and move legally parked cars in order to clear the street.” (more…)

From the Office of the Attorney General:

From the Chick fil A Foundation:

“Starting in 2020, the Chick-fil-A Foundation is introducing a more focused giving approach to provide additional clarity and impact with the causes it supports.
