“Am I The Only One Who Missed That DC Is Reopening?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I received a strange email from the Aveda salon in Georgetown that said, “Following the government guidelines, we will be able to reopen our salon on May 16th”.

I thought Bowser has yet to detail if she will extend the May 15 Stay-at-Home order and what our DC phased openings will look like…Did I miss something? If so, I hope I’m not the only one concerned that we’re reopening while our hospitalizations keep rising.”

Ed. Note: The email from Aveda seems very very premature. It is highly unlikely given the current state of affairs that we’ll see a reopening starting this Saturday. Of course I’ll update with the official word as soon as more info is given from the Mayor’s office.

Thanks to all who forwarded us the email from Aveda:

“We hope this finds you and your loved ones well and safe. Following the government guidelines, we will be able to reopen our salon in Georgetown on May 16th with one priority: the safety of our team and visitors

Therefore, all the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure a serene and pleasant experience in our salon:

“I just wanted to share the news of another locally-owned business going above and beyond.”

“Dear PoPville,

For the past 14 or so years, my parents and I have gone to Hu’s Shoes in Georgetown on Mother’s Day so my mom can pick out a pair of shoes after brunch. We stumbled upon the store years ago, and have kept up the tradition ever since, rain or shine. The guys always sit down to catch up on what’s happened the past year, and patiently help as my mom tries on every pair of flats and my dad riddles them with dad jokes. We look forward to it every year.

Today, knowing we wouldn’t be able to come in, I reached out by email to let the guys know that we are thinking of them and will be in as soon as social distancing regulations ease up. (more…)

New CVS coming to Navy Yard

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to Jason for sending: “Looks like a new CVS is going into the One Hill South apartment building on the corner of Half St & I (eye) St, SE. Which is a bit surprising since there’s a CVS about a half mile away at New Jersey and M St, SE. I wonder if that one is slated to close shop. It’ll be right next to the new Medstar doctors office, so pretty convenient for picking up prescriptions.”
