For Those Shaking Up Their Social Media Sites – Here’s Where You Can Find Us

By Prince Of Petworth

For the last few weeks, I’ve been getting messages asking where to follow us for those who are leaving the big three and a half: X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. While we will continue to post everywhere – we’ve been on Bluesky for a few weeks and rather like it – if interested you can follow us there too.

However, I’ve also been saying for a while now that the social media algorithms have become very unreliable, to a lesser extent but even at BlueSky too, so unless you visit the site directly – what’s up www.popville.com yo!! – then I strongly recommend you also get our free daily email round up so that you never miss a post. With 20+ posts every day, Social Media sites, unfortunately, won’t show you many of them. Anyway, if interested you can sign up for that here.

Cheers and thanks for following wherever you like to follow!

“Gift Card Scam at H Street NE Giant”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Both a PSA and question in case anyone else has also experienced this scam:

I purchased two pick-your-own-amount gift cards in December at the H St NE Giant and loaded them in store. The recipients just notified me that when they opened their (sealed) packaging, the numbers on the cards had been scratched off. (more…)
