Holy smokes. When it rains it pours and today it is pouring pure joy. I don’t have timing on this one but I’m also hearing that that prayers of Brookland have finally been answered and a Trader Joe’s is coming. I don’t know where. Maybe here? I don’t know when but I do know that my Trader Joe’s scuttlebutt accuracy is pretty damned good…

STAY TUNED.

If you missed Part One earlier, you can see it here.



5300 Wisconsin Ave, NW

Alright y’all, if you were excited about the Booeymonger reopening, you’re gonna want to buckle up and secure your helmets because I hear from a very good source that a Trader Joe’s is coming to part of the old Mazza Gallerie space early next year assuming construction is completed on time.

STAY TUNED and remember this is only part one of our Trader Joe’s scuttlebutt…


“Dear PoPville,

I noticed that the Glover Park Whole Foods is not longer a “just walk out” store. You buy your groceries the old fashion way by ringing up your purchase at the cashier or self-checkout counters. The place is still creepy—all the cameras are still in place in the ceiling. So, last week was the first time I had been in the GP WF store in weeks. At that time, there were turnstiles at the front entrance where you scanned the QR code on your phone to enter. I see now that there is a just-walk-out lane open, but I don’t see how you scan in when you enter.” (more…)


Ed. Note: Yesterday we learned that Little Hat Coffee opened inside the Streets Market at 14th and Florida Ave, NW

Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats is opening an outpost of its popular plant-based bakery in NoMa inside of Streets Market, 51 M Street NE, with a Grand Opening on Thursday, October 26th at noon. (more…)
