“Dear PoPville,

Wondering if the fine people of PoPville can help me out, I donked up pretty good with my partner about two months ago. Donated her high school copy of The Handmaid’s Tale to one of the little libraries in Mount Pleasant – any chance one of your readers reading this found and read it?? Her initials are JW and I’d be happy to replace her copy with one from Lost City Books ;-)”

“Dear PoPville,

DCA terminal D has lost its essence!! They removed the Dunkin, Washington Pour Bar, etc. While yes, the grab and go market and Wow Bo are probably good to go to allow for more seating- will totally miss the chaos of the terminal and having a drink with the best views at DCA.

Sad!!”
