“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you or anybody in the community know what was up with the giant line this morning at the Washington Hilton? It stretched from the front door almost all the way down to Florida Ave. Have lived across the street for 4 years and have never seen anything like this except for the WHCA dinner.”

“Dear PoPville,
I just stopped by Burrito Brothers on Pennsylvania Ave and saw that they’re permanently closed. The local chain had been around for at least thirty five years and had locations all over the city, but the last outpost got booted by their landlord. Such a shame. The name on the storefront is definitely down. I spoke with the hair salon next door and apparently they closed Saturday.”
Google has them listed as temporarily closed but it seems more likely to be “temporarily” closed: (more…)
