“Dear PoPville,

I was on a run in Rock Creek Park Tuesday and as I was enjoying the views of the creek and bright green spring leaves I spotted a bald eagle. It was awesome to see and was huge! I started to point it out to other people biking and jogging by on the trail and a little group formed. Fun to see everyone get excited to see it! There was one guy running by who I waved at to let him know and he stopped to check it out. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I want to post a missed connection that happened at dca (arrivals). He mentioned he lived in the dc area, so I know hes local not a tourist. It would be pretty awesome to connect to him. Highly unlikely but I’ll give it a shot. (more…)

Update: “I’m not the cute guy from the bike, but I found this puppy. She was hiding under a truck on C street. I had my dog with me, but I put her on the pole next to me. I had to get fully under the truck to get to the puppy. Fortunately a very helpful woman stopped who had an extra leash with her. We were able to leash the dog. I then called the number on the tag, and the owner answered immediately. Apparently she’s been looking for her pup for a long time. They were reunited and the pup is safe at home!”

“Dear PoPville,

Coming down the sidewalk shortly after the pup was a man on a bike, who then noticed the lost dog, took off after it, and enlisted the police officer standing by to help him in the chase.

I was late to a meeting, so I had to lay aside my eagerness to take off running and join the growing search and rescue team. But the question loomed all day–who was the mysterious heroic man on the bike?! (more…)
