Thanks to Kevin for sending from the former Ace Hardware space. City Swing was located in City Center but closed at the end of March. The Mount Vernon Square location was hoping to open in April but obviously still has a minute to go. STAY TUNED.

“The ANC 6E agenda notes that a new 7-11 wants to have an unenclosed sidewalk cafe — coming to the southwest corner of 5th and K. I think that’s two storefronts down from Capital City Wine on the corner, which recently closed.”

Ed. Note: Wait, are those palm trees? What are those?
Thanks to John for sending:
“I’ve always told myself I should live where palm trees grow. West End is getting tropical and it’s not just the humidity. Also that Streets Market in the background is supposed to be opening soon.”
