“Dear PoPville,
Last summer you highlighted the opening of Bluebell Spa at 14th and Spring. I finally went – and it’s amazing. One of the best massages I’ve had in years and completely adorable and cozy inside. TuSuva fans will find the experience very comparable. They now offer massage, facial and skincare, and waxing. Appointments are easy to make online. Highly recommended!!!”

Last Tuesday we broke the news that a Nicecream was coming to Adams Morgan. A tipster sends word that they hear a Nicecream is also coming to Shaw possibly in The Shay. I give this tipster an 80% accuracy rating. Stay tuned.

Thanks to Will for sending the coming soon for Blue Bottle coffee at Union Station. Looks like it’ll be on the main floor near the Laduree. Finally some competition for the Starbucks(es). In other Union Station news, which there seems to be a tremendous amount lately, Grant sends a photo of a new salon on the lower level:

OK a couple weeks ago I mentioned I was sitting on some sweet Wawa scuttlebutt when we spoke about the possibility of a Wawa taking over the old Zoup space downtown. As I said at that time, I was only giving that scuttlebutt a 50/50 chance. However, this one is rock solid. Ed. Note: There is always a +/- 3% chance of something happening last minute. But I feel very good about this one. Updates and details on location when it’s locked in 100%.

Ed. Note: Earlier this morning we learned that Sababa, “a salute to the cooking of Israel”, was coming to the former Ardeo space down the strip.
You could get whip lash if you’re not careful here. Whoa part five from Wake Up Little Suzie:
“After 40 years of running a retail business I have decided that it is time for me to retire. This was not an easy decision but I am excited and am looking forward to the next part of my life.
Words cannot express the gratitude I owe to each of you who supported the store over the years. Wake Up Little Suzie not only survived but thrived in Cleveland Park. (more…)
