“Dear PoPville,
I went out for a walk on Wednesday 8/31 and dropped my wallet (a red cardholder) without noticing. As I was returning to my apartment building, the front desk called to say that a kind woman (who was out walking her dog) found it on the sidewalk in Kalorama and (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My wife’s car was parked on R near 16th, and we found this note on the windshield, nicely wrapped in a plastic bag on a rainy day. And the car in front of us had Maryland plates too!”

My boyfriend, Josh “Pookie” Quijada, had a stroke last Monday. He’s a healthy 34-year-old and doctors are still trying to figure out what happened, but he’s very lucky to be alive. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Sunday evening (7/3) I was riding a scooter at 14th and W St, NW when I was hit by a cab and went face over. Three women stopped and saw I was bleeding from the head. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Can you help me find this Good Samaritan? I lost my keys Saturday and spent at least 30 minutes desperately stressing out: retracing my steps over and over, crawling in the grass wherever I could have dropped them, coming up with any and every contingency plans i could. Truly devastated and frustrated at myself for this oversight. And then, I look into my car (which was mercifully still placed where I parked it a few hours prior). There, on the passenger seat, is a doggy bag with my keys inside. I can’t tell you how much my mind is blown and my heart warmed by this astounding act of thoughtfulness and kindness. I would love thank this amazingly thoughtful and kind stranger for this blessing!”

I walked up to the 7-11 on 19th and Wyoming in Adams Morgan Wednesday morning, to get milk for coffee.
My car happened to be parked on 19th and Wyoming. As I headed back home I noticed a piece of paper under one of my windshield wipers. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
On Monday afternoon I realized that sometime in the hour or so before, my drivers license and credit card had fallen out of a stupid defective phone case … somewhere that I had been. (I backtracked to a few spots and left my name and number but had no real hope!) (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I hope you can help me track down some amazing Good Samaritans to whom I will be forever indebted. On Tuesday evening (6/14), my husband was biking up sixteenth street when he went into sudden cardiac arrest. From what I understand, he was able to get off his bike and onto the sidewalk before collapsing unconscious and without a heart beat. Some quick thinking bystanders started administering CPR and called 911. They continued to do CPR until the EMTs were able to get there and take over. According to my husband’s doctors, had they not been there and acted as quickly as they did, my husband would not have survived. (more…)
