“Dear PoPville,
I found an engagement ring near the Columbia heights metro this morning around 9:15. I would love to get it back to its owner. If whoever is claiming it could send a picture or description of the ring to verify it belongs to them I’d like to return it.”
If you think it’s yours please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP. Thanks.
Thanks to a couple of readers for sending this crazy news about Rosemarys Thyme: “So very sad. Their Chicken Iskender is amazing! And they just renovated! I’m so puzzled.”
