Dear PoPville – What’s Up With the New Antique Furniture on 9th St, NW?

Dear PoPville,

I’ve been picking up a friend’s dog the last couple of days from Wagtime on 9th Street near the Convention Center. I noticed that the vacant space a couple of doors down was starting to fill up with antique or salvaged furniture. The windows still had the “space available” signs on the windows so it wasn’t clear what was going on. Would you happen to know anything about it?

Unfortunately, I believe this is just a temporary thing. This one is located next to the Longview Gallery on the 1200 block of 9th St, NW. I’ve seen this usage at many vacant retail spaces in Penn Quarter. Basically, it’s a furniture sale for a month or so. Usually the quality of the pieces vary but looking in the window – these seem pretty nice. Ultimately the space gets leased out. I think one of the the ones I saw in Penn Quarter became Pi Pizzeria and the Pannini spot. This one is a huge space so it’ll be interesting to see who ultimately leases the space.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
