“Dear PoPville,
While out taking photos of my roommates dog at the tulips near the National mall, I misplaced my wallet. I went back a day later to look for it, hoping maybe no one had seen it yet, but it was no where to be found. Today, after being in the office all day, my first item of business was to cancel all my cards, but I found an envelope with no return address at my front door containing my wallet and a nice note.

“Dear PoPville,
Trying to find someone… was hit by a car (while walking) in the crosswalk of Columbia and Harvard st. at around 7:15pm last night. There was a woman who I THINK was named Peggy who was an absolute angel from the moment I hit the ground to getting inside an ambulance. I would love to be able to thank her properly!!!”
If you are or know Peggy please have her email me at [email protected] so I can put her in touch with OP. Thank you.

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been having a really hard time with my breakup, and I was mopping by the Capitol building really trying to find perspective. I had a really nice girl give me a drawing that said “at the end of every winter is spring” and told me that she hoped I would feel better. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Writing to send out some thanks into the world to a bicyclist who helped un-strand me from Adams Morgan Sunday morning! Something about the cold made my bike lock jam while I was out and about Saturday night, and upon returning to try to rescue it on Sunday morning I still couldn’t get the lock to budge, after which my phone promptly died.

“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to say thank you to the kind strangers that helped corral my dog Remi after my grip slipped on his leash at the intersection of New Hampshire & Rock Creek Church Rd NW. Several motorists and pedestrians helped in the pursuit that ultimately resulted in the pup running home and sitting on the porch. I didn’t catch anyone’s name as I was in hot pursuit of the pup (on a very cold night), but I grateful for their help.”

“Dear PoPville,
Sunday morning around 10:30 Am I was riding an ebike at 14th and U St, NW and I crashed.
It probably did not appear that bad but with my 3 metal joints I was laying on the ground in severe pain. A nice man walked over picked up the e bike for me and asked if I was OK. I was so embarrassed that I got up and said thank you and told him I was fine when I really just wanted to lay there. Lol
He could have went about his day like everybody else but it’s good to be reminded that there are sweet people in this world. And I just wanted to express my gratitude in that moment.“

“Dear PoPville,
I want to give a shout-out to the kind strangers that checked on me yesterday after I tripped on a run in Ledriot Park and absolutely ate pavement (sprained my ankle). A nice man pulled over in his car and got out to make sure I was okay (he then kindly drove me home). The woman saw me fall from down the block and together they helped me up. They didn’t have to stop, but they did, and I’m grateful.”
Also pretty awesome, a reader found a purse/ID and was reunited last night when: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This is the biggest long shot ever. A woman stood up for me in the bar at Joe’s against two people, a male and younger female who were bullying me. She told them “you all could lose your jobs for the way you are speaking to her” and I really appreciated it after a night of poor treatment. I’d like to connect with this lady (blonde woman) for standing up for me when she could tell I needed backup. (more…)

Thanks to DCgrl for passing on the sad news, bringing out the good people: “this is the best darn corner store around and Sam is so lovely to neighbors and makes very kind donations to the local elementary school PTA too!!”
Uncle Steve wrote: “Sam is just the sweetest, kindest corner store owner, but this week, he got robbed and beat up a bit by a couple of teenagers. Nice to see the neighborhood come out and support him.”
