“Looks like there’s a Chase Bank coming to the old Urban Essentials furniture store location at 14th and Rhode Island NW in Logan Circle, joining the ranks of exciting new 14th Street destinations like the T-Mobile across the street and the Capital One coming to 14th and U.”
Thanks to all who emailed and messaged the update. Rob writes:

“She Loves Me is a flower and gift shop that caters to those who appreciate beauty and want to learn more about the world around them. We’ll have a daily selection of fresh-cut flowers, available by the stem and in pre-made bouquets, as well as plants. Upstairs we’ll have classes of all sorts, including flower arranging, terrariums, flower crowns and more.
We have a selection of botanical-based products, including candles and skincare. We also serve as a gallery space for local artists, and with the exception of their one-of-a-kind artworks no product in the shop is over $150.
We’ll also do weddings, special events, and classes on-site.

“Just received an email from a commercial broker saying the building on 18th where Idle Time Books is located just sold, dunno what that means for the business but thought you’d like to know.”
In December the Washington Post reported the upcoming sale of the building and business to real estate executive Scott Spector:
“In November, after years of rejecting potential buyers who preferred her real estate to her first-edition copies of Jack Kerouac novels, [Idle Time owner Val] Morgan found what she considered an appropriate suitor — “the bookstore savior,” as she refers to him, bursting into a raspy laugh.
Spector, in a telephone interview, said he’s contemplating myriad changes, including selling new books along with the used, opening a cafe in the shop, and creating space for readings, lectures and community meetings.”
STAY TUNED.
“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been running into issues CVS, they’ve been very backlogged (~3 weeks) on my medication, and by the time they can get to it, my prescription has already “expired” due to the DC laws, even though they were aware of it and I submitted it with plenty of time. Naturally this has caused some frustration, and while I understand DC laws, I want to make a switch. Does anyone have suggestions for mom and pop pharmacies? I used to use them in my old city and want to make the switch.”
