3651 Georgia Ave, NW
Ed. Note: From Reliable Tavern (3655 Georgia Ave, NW) also located on the block: “We have a lease through at least 2026 and at this point we are planning to continue operating for the foreseeable future. COVID was really challenging, but we’ve been fortunate to receive some additional funding from the city to help us with back rent, and really appreciate the continued support from the community…. business is picking up.”
Will update when/if I learn about any changes coming to the other businesses on the block.
“Dear PoPville,
iacovelli Cafe & Liquor [“Liquor store and cafe. Beer, wine, liquor. Regular breakfast, lunch, dinner + special additional Jamaican menu (curry chicken/shrimp, oxtail, brown stew)“], is closing at the end of May. Our old landlord ignored our request to renew our lease (we have been there 5.5 years), then sold the building! Very sad for us as we bought this store when our daughter was born and we survived through Covid. My husband Tambe runs the store and is the chef.” (more…)

233 12th Street, SE
“Dear PoPville,
Save Mott’s Market
Neighbors in the Capitol Hill community are banding together to save their corner market, and they need more help.
Since 1916, the corner market at 233 12th St. SE has been a staple in the Capitol Hill community. Known as Mott’s Market, families have come to know this corner market as a pantry, gathering place, and safe haven for the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Mott’s represents a way of life that is disappearing on Capitol Hill. We have lost many similar markets across the city in the past decade and fear we are about to lose another.
The owners of the 233 12th St. property, which includes the corner store, have put it up for sale. A coalition of neighbors are working together to purchase the property with the mission to preserve and revitalize the store. Their aim is to protect this community landmark but recognize that they cannot achieve their goals alone. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
In A Pickle is shutting down in Eastern Market. He announced it on the Facebook page on 3/19 and it’s very sad to see it go! For me, like many, it was the main reason for going to eastern market on the weekends. Anyone know where to get these pickles and olives from now that he’s shutting down?”
“Dear In a Pickle Fans,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closing of In A Pickle Company. We are grateful for the support of our customers over the past 14 years I have enjoyed meeting all you over those years. (more…)
