Last week we spoke about the the status of the old Superfresh in Spring Valley.

Thanks to Jonathan for sharing:

“Well, this is the location that Plum Market (based out of Ann Arbor, MI) lists as a future location. Their locations in Michigan are fantastic and this would be a great addition to the neighborhood.”

STAY TUNED.

4330 48th Street, NW, Superfresh closed in 2011

“Dear PoPville,

Change of plans at Spring Valley Superfesh? A couple weeks ago fences went up limiting (but not restricting) access to the parking lot. Late last week the graffiti that had collected was painted over, and this weekend a “For Lease” sign went up on the building. There is also a “For Lease” sign on the space that used to house DeCarlo’s. Did the developers finally give up in light of neighborhood resistance and interest rates?”

“Dear PoPville,

The playground at Ft Bayard has been closed for renovation with no progress since December. I’m getting nowhere trying to find out who to contact for information.”

Ed. Note: Looks like this is run by the National Park Service, in which case Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton’s office might be the best bet? Anyone know what’s going on here?

Perhaps I fawned to soon over the Unicorn being the best decoration of all time. It’s still pretty damn sweet but this get up from Lou (above) in AU Park has narwhals. Narwhals!!

Oh yeah making snow too:
