“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to let you know that Slutty Vegan appears to be close to opening on the 500 block of H Street Northeast. In 2023 it was announced, but on the 1200 block! The current space was formerly an I-71 shop that was shut down in 2024. One of a few cool new spots opening on H street.” (more…)

Taking over the first two floors of the Eaton DC, State of the Arts Night 2026 offers an evening of synchronized programming and chance to meet the European and American artists from the inaugural Transatlantic Rising Stars Project in honor of America’s 250th, and to experience their history-making works.
These 25 visual, musical, and film-making artists will gather for one night only in Washington, D.C., before traveling home, showcasing what they have created and displayed across the United States.
Experience an immersive installation exploring the stories of 5 award-winning EU film directors, alongside exhibits from Alaska, Minnesota, Wyoming, New Mexico, and North Carolina. Music in a range of genres newly written by EU and Philadelphia artists will be performed in back-to-back sets throughout the evening, and a pop-up gallery will reveal the inaugural art works of the Transatlantic Stars Collection.

From a press release:
“The Institute for Primary Facts (IPF) today announced that The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is officially moving to the nation’s capital in time for President Trump’s birthday.
Running between June 9-12, 2026, the first-of-its kind physical library will take over a space twice as large as the original New York location in D.C.’s Chinatown neighborhood near the White House and Department of Justice (DOJ). The installation will house all 3.5 million pages of unsealed court records and investigative files released by the DOJ, printed and bound into more than 3,400 individual volumes weighing more than 17,000 pounds.
The D.C. Reading Room is the next stop on what the organizers hope will become a national tour following the New York Reading Room’s viral success. Nearly 10,000 New Yorkers walked through 3,437 volumes of the Epstein files during the exhibit’s two-week run. The installation has been seen by over 85 million people online. The momentum ahead of the D.C. launch also follows a historic, uninterrupted 24-hour filibuster where advocates, citizens, and 11 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes took turns reading the unsealed files aloud.

This will help ensure that patients and prescribers have the information they need from Walgreens to make decisions in the best interest of the patient’s healthcare.
Since I first became a customer in 1999, (more…)
