“Dear PoPville,
Apple the Yorkie whose story was shared last Monday is doing fantastic. In just one week, she has blossomed from matted, starving, and unsure into the most confident, bright, and loving dog you’ll ever meet.

“Dear PoPville,
Any intel on the boulangerie moving into the Radici space? They’ve been working on it for seemingly forever. This (above) is essentially how the place has looked for MONTHS. I haven’t been able to see inside since they started work, but I heard they’re gutting the place?”
Good news to share! “We’re still waiting on the final Certificate of Occupancy and then we’re going to be good to go!
Our French bakers are here and ready to start baking for everyone!” (more…)
