“Dear PoPville,
I was having a hard time figuring out how to bike TO the new Wegmans. Going via the Wisconsin Ave. garage entrance didn’t feel right, it’s all about cars there. Wegmans wrote me today with photos and explained how to bike around to other side. Thought this might be cool info for your biking readers. Here is their email to me today with photos.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I went past the old Panera spot at Dupont, and with the lights on inside and it being dark outside, I could read the window that’s papered over. Photo underneath- it says Just Walk Out technology on it. Maybe becoming one of the Amazon supermarkets?” (more…)

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…)
