From Calabash:

“Peace, Tribe! We appreciate the love streaming in from you all concerning the break-in at our Brookland Shop! Many of you have reached out about how you can best assist us with this unexpected expense. We highly recommend purchasing Gift Cards for yourself or others to use on CalabashTea.com. Each purchase gives us instant funds that can help with our insurance deductible and be used by the recipient anytime in the future on our products. Feel free to take this as an opportunity to put one of your people on to what we got! The support is everything, y’all! Stay beautiful & safe!“

“Brooks Brothers back from the dead”

“Dear PoPville,

My office is in the Ring Building across from the Connecticut Ave Brooks Brothers. I stopped in today to gather mail and was surprised to look across the street and see Brooks Brothers back from the dead and open. The store had closed, they even had ‘For Lease’ signs in the windows as of last week. However, today the signs are gone and dressed mannequins are back in the windows.”

But for now – we must focus our attention on those fighting to survive the awfulness that has been 2020. Which by the by does not magically end as the calendar flips to 2021, obviously. So let us take this opportunity to call out the local restaurants/bars/retail fighting to survive who could use all of our support. (more…)
