On Friday we posted a petition pleading for the “practice of live sandwich making to the DC Wegmans.” And soon it shall be – update from the fine folks at Wegmans:

Well my friends, I got a sneak a peek of the holy land – D.C.’s first Wegmans! And there are no words. Well there’s actual a huge fact sheet which I’ll include below. I also took a bunch of photos of the 84,000 sq. ft. Shangri-La. Since the store is opening on Wednesday it wasn’t fully stocked but the photos will give you a good snapshot of what’s to be. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was surprised and disappointed today to find Recoil gun magazine next to the People and Vanity Fair at the checkout at my neighborhood Giant. Really, Giant? (more…)
To find the Wegmans you have to walk down that road between the new triangle building and the old Fannie Mae HQ: (more…)
Thanks to Sean for sending:
“Spotted at the Wisconsin Ave TJs on Sunday afternoon. I parked next to this van from NY and didn’t even noticed the Saran Wrap until I was loading my groceries in my trunk!
Also, TJs have gorgeous artichokes in stock right now for $2.50! I’ve never seen such beautiful artichokes in DC, really big!” (more…)
