1666 Connecticut Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Sign of the times, I passed it the other night (Saturday) and it was closed, but all lit up. The signs are now in the window.
They were seldom very busy, so I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a permanent closure.”
I walked by a building/roof fire on Saturday morning so hopefully related and they’ll be able to reopen soon.
