“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.

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…)
