“Dear PoPville,
Just walked by the Glosslab on Connecticut Ave NW in Dupont, and they have the windows papered up, and no signs of action inside. Weird, since they just opened this location a few months ago. And I believe they closed temporarily last month due to a health code violation. Renovating? Or closed for good?”

Via Umbria was a “Family owned Italian restaurant, market, and event space in Historic Georgetown.”
Via Umbria opened here back in 2015. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been stymied as I try to figure out what this is – a very carefully-constructed big window display for the “Green Paint Shop” close to City Lights, around 1735 Connecticut. Internet searches turn up nothing, except for one Reddit conversation saying it had been covered in PoPville.

“Dear PoPville,
Here, we sell handmade wellness-related goods made by local businesses and artists (candles, body and hair products, wellness journals, art kits, essential oils, and more), featuring makers of color. We will also hold family friendly art and wellness classes, such as expressive painting, therapeutic journaling, meditative coloring, tea mixing, and more. This is a space to unplug, slow down, and enjoy!
We’re preparing for a soft opening this Friday and weekend.”

“Dear PoPville,
Sending this in for awareness but also to see if anyone else is in the same boat– the jewelry store “Gold USA Jewelers” at 3109 14th St NW is suddenly closed for remodeling with no re-open date or way to contact them for info. The doors are locked, store windows are covered in paper and they have a sign up saying “by appointment only” but there does not appear to be anywhere to make one–their phone number has been disconnected (you get an error message if you call) and there is no website/social media/online presence for their business.
