“Dear PoPville,
We were just at the Columbia Heights dog park (Sunday) and, soon after we arrived, a larger pounced on our terrier, Peanut, and they got into a little scuffle (fortunately he’s okay, just a little nick on his nose!).

“This is a long shot– but I’d love to reward and/or thank the person who found my wallet today (5/22) on 17th street NW. They saved my life! My eight month old threw my wallet out of her stroller when I wasn’t looking. (more…)

Rebecca recounts a helluva a tale last night around 7:30pm:
“Just happened by a blazing balcony fire on 16th St across from Meridian Hill Park. Another bystander and I came across the fire at the same time. He immediately sprinted around the block and appeared ON THE BALCONY spraying a fire extinguisher. Hero!!!”
P. adds: “He took the fire extinguisher from my hands and we both ran to the balcony (I was at the balcony door until he yelled to empty the place). It was my neighbor’s home.”
“Here’s a clip of him going after the flames with the fire extinguisher” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m in search of a Good Samaritan who helped me when my car broke down in Petworth earlier today (Tuesday), and hoping you can help connect us so I can return items he lent me to get my car running again.
At around 11 a.m. today (Tuesday April 13), a man saw that the hood of my red Jeep was erupting steam and brought me a container of water and a rag before going back inside. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On Sunday afternoon around 4pm, I was doing a 3 point turn and accidentally backed into a parked car. I wasn’t able to get out of my car on the spot so I pulled my car around to park and write a note, and by then, the other driver had returned and was already driving off! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Last night I was picking up my sick dog from Friendship Hospital, it was 1:30 am called a taxi (yellow cab) no cars, I call Uber no cars, I was shaking because was cold, two people were in their vehicles waiting to pick their dogs, said a prayer and ask one of them to take me home in Adams Morgan, this angel said yes and got me home safe at 2:00 am, his name Jackson, God bless him. He lives in Shaw and his dog is a beautiful husky, Thank You“
