“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:

“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…)

“Dear PoPville,
Walked by Diego’s in Dupont and there were workmen taking down all of the portraits on the wall. Hopeful they are renovating not closing…?”
Ed. Note: Calls to the shop go unanswered, understandably, but without voicemail. Anyone hear anything? A lot of history here.

It’s been a very long month. But with the recent news of Greek Deli and Great Wall (and Brookland’s Finest soon) reopening for take out and now this, well I’ll take it!! Thanks again to Judi for passing on the good word from Calvert Woodley:
“CALVERT WOODLEY IS REOPENING MONDAY, MAY 4th!
We hope you are safe and healthy and doing well. We have missed you!
As a thank you for your support we are having a 20% OFF SALE ON ALL WINE through May 9th. Online ordering is available now.
To keep our employees, customers, and community safer, here are the adjustments we’ve made, or are continuing to make, to our normal business operations:
• CW will be open Monday through Saturday, noon to 5:00 pm.
• No customers inside Calvert Woodley, just employees. To ensure physical distancing, we will have less than half the staff we normally have at any given time. (more…)
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.”
