Five newly signed tenants are expected to debut in the coming months, further enhancing the station’s curated mix of retail and amenities. This lineup of upcoming tenants includes D.C.standouts alongside ever-popular brands:

“Where are all of the mosquitoes? (Stay vigilant this week!)”

“Here’s the catch bag from my mosquito trap, emptied after ~2.5 weeks. It’s easily 1k+ mosquitoes.”

“Dear PoPville,

I started the Itty Bitty Mosquito Committee a couple months ago to address Capitol Hill’s gnarly mosquito situation… and to my very honest surprise it seems to maybe be working?

We’ve grown beyond Capitol Hill and have blocks participating across all wards, and I’ve been hearing from a lot of neighbors that they’re spending time outside for the first time in years.

Anyone else notice the mosquitoes are missing? (more…)
