Thanks to all who shared the sad scene from the recently opened Aurora Market in Park View:

Thanks to Ishaba and others who send word that the Philz in Dupont is closing on Apr 30th. One reader wrote:
“Philz in Dupont says they’re closing at the end of the month. DM’d them on Instagram and they said it was “purely a financial decision.” Wonder what the deal is since it’s always pretty packed and popular.”
Philz opened here to much excitement back in 2018. Prior to them this was the home to a Cosi that closed back in 2014. Updates when we learn more.

“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard anything about a whole bunch of restaurants closing in union station? I heard from a colleague this morning that Einstein brothers, Dunkin’ Donuts, and another restaurant were all shuttered when they went there today.”
I placed calls to the Dunkin and Einstein Bros. but the calls went unanswered…
