“Dear PoPville,
On Friday night, March 21, I walked to the Cleveland Park metro on the side of the Target. It was around 8.20PM. A guy was standing near the elevators finishing a smoke and walked down the stairs behind me. We both waited for the next Red Line towards Glenmont.
We get on the same car. (more…)

UPDATE: Owner tells me via email that they have signed a leaseback after the building has sold and have not plans to close. Trying to get more details and will share as soon as I do. Great news!!
Ed. Note: I’ve really been holding off on this hoping it wasn’t really going to happen. But I’ve received so many tips, like the one below, that I can’t hold off any longer after having chatted with an employee as well. I stopped in to get my rice ball fix and was hesitantly told that after this summer they will likely be closing their doors. If it happens then that gives about a good five, six months or so. If you, like me, are a huge fan – I’d start going regularly while we still can.
“Dear PoPville,
Just heard that our beloved Hana Market is in fact closing soon. I saw your post from July 2024 about the package sale of the buildings. The update from today is that (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We are excited to announce the return of Juneberry Garage‘s lovely patio bar on the old Walter Reed campus on Thursday, March 27th.
