Let’s Send Some Love (and business) to Sol Mexican Grill, De Louice Custom Tailor and Coffee Nature who all had their glass doors smashed

By Prince Of Petworth


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.”

If anyone lives nearby, it’d be great to shower them with love today/this weekend:

“Congress Market, my favorite neighborhood bodega, is closing its doors.”

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.”

Ace Hardware will be closing in Woodley Park later this Summer

By Prince Of Petworth


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…)
