U Street


15th and U Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Walked by the Sunoco on U and 15th this AM around 5 and it was closed.”

Another reader asks:

“Do you have any scoop on the closure of the Sunoco at 15th and U? It seems very sudden with no information on what is coming next!”

Another reader writes of a “development” coming but no other details. Anyone hear what’s up?

STAY TUNED.
