“Dear PoPville,
I found this awesome MoMA umbrella on a D bus downtown just in time to use it during Wednesday’s terrible storm. If this is yours, happy to reunite it with its owner. Let me know the route and about where on the bus it may have been left.”
If it’s yours please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
