Back in January a reader wrote in asking about Cane and Coconut in the old Mister Rotisserie space. I keep forgetting to post that they’ve been open for a bit now. (Anyone stop by?) (more…)

4200 block Fessenden Street, NW just off Wisconsin Ave
“Dear PoPville,
This is sad. These three businesses on Fesseden all got broken into last night. Glass doors all shattered. The Coffee Nature guy said nothing but spare change was stolen. All the businesses are cleaning up and really sad. The police just left. I was there when the workers at Sol Mexican Grill showed up for work to find the police in front of their restaurant. Pretty sad to see them just stand there staring at the door.”

Georgia and New Hampshire Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
A few times in the last several weeks, my wife and I have tried to go to our closest CVS at Georgia and New Hampshire, but when we’ve approached the front door, there’s a hand-written sign in the window that says the store is closed at the moment, and the metal door is pulled down. (more…)

14th and W Street, NW
Thanks to Jesse and Michael for sharing: “Entire block is leased out. Tatte, Back Country, Small door VetPacers running, Madabolic gym and Capital bank. 100% leased. Surprising given all the vacancies around town” (more…)
Ed. Note: Wawa opened in the former Potbelly, Pete’s and Five Guys Retail spaces in May 2019.
This is not the first Wawa to abruptly close – Adams Morgan closed after less than a year in 2020.
Thanks to Shanae for first sending us over the weekend. (more…)
421 East Capitol Street, SE
Martin sends the sad news:
“Congress Market, my favorite neighborhood bodega, is closing its doors. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve popped in here over the nearly ten years I’ve lived on Capitol Hill, and I guarantee you I turn the corner of 5th and East Capitol and try and pop in again out of habit at least a few more times. What a loss.”
3220 17th Street, NW entrance on Mount Pleasant Street
Thanks to Cassidy for sending: “For June I wanted to share my favorite pride flag at the Argyle Market in Mount Pleasant. I appreciate whoever put up the air freshener rainbow, it cracks me up and I love it. It’s up there all year round.”
2616 Connecticut Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I recently overheard a conversation inside ACE Hardware in Woodley Park. A staff member was telling a customer that the store would be closing permanently in a month or two, because it had never made a profit in its 10 year history. Say it ain’t so!”
The owners sadly confirm the coming closing: “We will be closing in August and our team members will be transferred to another one of our locations if they would like to continue to work with us.” (more…)
