“Dear PoPville,
Friday night (February 17th) my friend and I (we are both young women) were leaving the Little Grand (7th and H St. NE) a little after 11pm. We were walking home going west on H Street NE when a man standing outside of the Whole Foods yelled something at us (I didn’t hear what he said as my friend and I were in mid-conversation). The man was tall, stout, and probably in his 40s. My friend and I kept walking and we could hear him continuing to shout at us. He was saying things like, he needed to tell us something, he was the black Jesus, he knew God, and was mad we weren’t talking to him. We realized he was following us as he was shouting. He followed us to H and 4th NE when Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I am reaching out to see if you would be able to help me find a mom I met at Children’s National’s Emergency Department last weekend (12/3, around 5pm.) I came in to the ED with my 17m old, who was very very sick- she had lost the ability to use her left arm and leg, and we weren’t sure why. This mom was there with her daughter who had a hurt arm, and she literally became my daughter’s guardian angel that day. Read More
Lots of messages were sent to us (props to all the concerned neighbors who did not give up until Bruce was rescued!) over the weekend: “Neighbors have been trying to get the construction manager or animal control – this poor cat has been stuck in the scaffolding at the Scottish Rite construction site on 15th and S NW.”
Katie wrote Sunday morning:
“The cat has been saved and owner located!”

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to thank whoever it was that found my phone in front of the Camden NOMA apartments and turned it into the front desk. Thanks to the Google “Find my phone” feature I was able to share my work ## with the front desk person and it is now back in my possession. So nice to skip a trip to the store and not have to worry that someone is out there stealing my identity! It’s a Christmas miracle!” Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I’m 9 months pregnant, and my water broke today on the metro. In shock, all I could do was find someone to look at and say “my water just broke!” I didn’t need anything at the moment except for someone to know what was happening, so thank you to that man for 1) Read More

“Dear PoPville,
To whoever returned my phone to the Zoo lost and found Sunday September 18th. If you can prove it was you, I would love to buy you a drink! Thank you so much for your kindness! You received a round of applause from our large group celebrating my MIL’s birthday. You definitely saved me hours of work getting my stuff together.”
If this was you please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP for your drink!
“Dear PoPville,
So today (Sunday) I was at the Cracked Eggery with my two grandchildren. After I ordered lunch for them, I checked my purse, my pockets, started ransacking my bag, but could not find my credit card. And they would not take cash. I went through my stuff probably three times, when one of the staff said someone had paid for us. He pointed to the woman, who was incredibly lovely, Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I had a very bad day today (like, cried-in-front-of-my-boss bad) so I decided to take my dog on a long walk to clear my head. Read More

“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 Read More
