“Neighbors in the Capitol Hill community are banding together to save their corner market, and they need more help.”

“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…)

Thanks to Sean for sending the latest on Mott’s Market. The listing for $1,250,000 says:

5600 Georgia Ave, NW

Thanks to Natalie for sending: “Dollar Tree opened in the old Rite Aid(?) location at 5600 Georgia Ave. Store is fully stocked — and I could have sworn I saw a bunch of cars and shoppers here when I passed by a few days ago. But apparently the store is having some “unforeseen permit and certification issues” so its grand opening has been delayed for now. Hope it opens soon. (more…)
