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.”

Coffee Nature is located at 4224 Fessenden St NW and you can see their menu here. They are open 8:00am – 6:00pm today and 8:00am – 2:00pm Saturday (closed Sunday.)

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…)

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.”
