A Potbelly opened at The Yards (Navy Yard) today, I think. Something to note when hungry by the Park.

Of course he does! You’re giving him major chuckles right on schedule.

It also wouldn’t explain this common, but incorrect, formulation of numerous restaurant names given an extraneous apostrophe-s by some speakers.

because having a potbelly at both L & 19th AND M & new hampshire doesn’t seem redundant in the slightest

Deja Vu all over again. Check out the discussion from the last time PoP posted a Potbelly opening.

I think Prince of Petworth’s does it just to drive grammarians like you (and me) crazy!

Um, no. That explanation is bogus.

nah! — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:27:53 +0000

So glad I’m not the only one, prognostication.

And no, 2b3s, the apostrophe is not a dead give away. The apostrophe makes it appear as though the sandwiches belong to the stove.

Thank god. We need more lunch options here in the West End.
