Rumors of a doggie daycare and a restaurant are all false – McEnearney Associates it will be. Pulp closed at 14th and S St, NW after 14 years in Jan. 2014.
Ed. Note: Back in March we learned that the former Bang & Olufsun space down the block would be a Washington Fine Properties office.

Last week a reader heard some scuttlebutt that a new espresso spot could be coming to the space behind Rustik. On twitter another reader says the space will soon “offer improv classes & performances.” Updates when more info is known. Sounds promising!

Coming Soon Brightwood Mart – Your Neighborhood Convenience Store. This is the former temporary Safeway pharmacy used while the new Petworth Safeway was being built. It’s at Taylor and Georgia across the street from the YES! Organic Market. Nevermind the name – I was just thinking we could use another good bodega on Georgia Ave…

“Ooh, CVS at 23rd and M is an imminent health hazard. Wonder what happened. @PoPville”
Another reader reports:
“Thought this was interesting- I’ve been to both the CVS next to the SweetGreen on M St in West End and on L St by 20th St. NW in the past two days, and both had signs up and all their food items blocked off- just like Target did a couple of weeks ago. I’m pretty grossed out that even major retailers can’t seem to get their acts together and keep the critters away…ew.”
