“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you’ve heard anything about The Lane converting to an adults-only space. Got an email [see below] this morning inviting me to join a “one-of-a-kind grownup indoor playground club…” for $299/month plus a $250 initiation fee.
The website stripped most of its language about children and only features photos of adults.
If The Lane is no longer serving kids and families, it’s a huge loss to the community. In particular there’s a ton of families depending on them (and already paid for) childcare over winter break and other days schools are closed. We already signed my son up for a few days of daycamp and haven’t heard if the camp is still running or if we’re getting a refund.
I called again this morning during business hours and it went to voicemail.
KidOvation Stage is running a winter camp there next week and had a meeting with them yesterday afternoon to see if they can still use the space. Haven’t heard the results yet.”

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.
