“Dear PoPville,
On Wednesday, a group of 11 Northwest Neighbors Village members had a lively lunch at Steak N Egg Diner on Wisconsin Avenue. In the middle of our meal, we got the most amazing surprise when our waiter came in to say that the young couple who had been sitting at the table next to us had paid for our entire bill of over $250!

A note to say THANK YOU to the kind person at Petworth Safeway (3830 Georgia Ave.NW) who turned in my cell phone to customer service. I don’t know if I left it in my buggy or where, but I am very grateful!!”
“Dear PoPville,
Early Saturday morning our house was unfortunately subject to an awful act of verbal, homophobic hate, and destruction, which we painfully witnessed from in our home while anxiously waiting on the Metropolitan Police Department to respond to our duress.

“Dear PoPville,
Earlier this week on Monday, June 13, I fell off my bike trying to go up a curb around Dupont Circle and fell. I didn’t have any serious injuries but I hit my mouth and the bleeding made me think my injuries were worse than they were (and note that I was wearing a helmet).
No one was around to see me fall but I flagged down a woman as she was walking out of a building between 21st/22nd st and N St. She helped me call 911 and stayed with me until the ambulance came, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My wife Jean and I want to send a big thank you to all of the people on Shepherd Street NW for PorchFest on Saturday April 29. Our 13-month old Jack had a simple febrile seizure, and gave his parents quite a panic. We want to let the community know how grateful we were for your help calling 911 and keeping us calm. And we want to especially thank Dr. Christina Baviskar for stepping in and helping us. Jack is doing great and has made a speedy recovery. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
i didn’t get to thank a very kind stranger for intervening on my behalf. i (a female) was biking by myself around 11:30 pm on friday night, headed north on 6th st in southeast. as I was approaching the intersection of 6th and penn, there was a man in the street that was shouting at cars. i stopped a good way back from the intersection so as not to interact with him as i waited for the light to turn green. unfortunately for me, he saw me and rushed towards me yelling nasty things and getting incredibly and uncomfortably close. he was blocking my bike and screaming in my face and i did not know how i was going to get away from him.
