3917 Georgia Ave, NW back in April 2009
Thanks to Katie for passing on the sad news from Qualia:
“We are sad to inform our Petworth friends that our pop-up bar in @commonwealthcantina will be closing with March 18 being our last day of operations. And after much consideration, we have decided to shelve plans to rebuild and reopen the shop at 3917 Georgia Ave.
We don’t know if this will mark the end of our presence in the neighborhood that birthed us or a prelude to a new phase.
We are comforted to know that, unlike in 2009 when we first opened, there are several fine places to find a cup of coffee in the area.
On a happy note, we will continue to stock Commonwealth with our beans for sale during their normal hours.
Our Eckington location remains open 7 days a week. We hope to see you there after this week.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
