What does it all mean? Let me tell you what it all means. Nothing. It means nothing. In the wise words of Gorgias:
“Nothing exists; Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can’t be communicated to others. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.”
Thanks to Will for sending:
“Starbucks Dupont south is closing on December 30th.”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to make sure that you had seen the GoFundMe campaign set up by Jessica Escobar, who owns Sip of Seattle in Northwest DC.

Oof. Just last September we spoke about some urgently needed love for some of “the nicest people ever.”
Sip of Seattle’s Facebook says:
“Sip of Seattle is a family run Coffee Stop that will service all your Java needs. Whether its a small cup of drip or an iced grande half soy caramel mocha latte, we pride ourselves on being able to provide our customers with a drink they can truly enjoy. Since 1996, the Escobar family has been serving its customers the best coffee in DC.”

Thanks to Abram for passing on the scuttlebutt:
“Just got word from one of the employees that the Dunkin’ Donuts at 14th and U street NW will also close on December 29th! First Columbia Heights, now U street! It’s a 14th street Donut massacre! Oh well, I guess another one bites the dust.”
Dunkin Donuts opened at 14th and U Street back in October 2011. STAY TUNED.
