“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?”

Stay tuned for that Amazon Go coming to Dupont.

“Dear PoPville,

I walked by the old Anxo/new Uncaged Mimosas spot the other day, and it has added new “signage.” The door still says ANXO, so there is still much progress to be made. I haven’t heard any updates on opening in a while, so I figured I would pass along in the event others have heard any updates?”

“Dear PoPville,

New signage went up for The Bevy, in the Bryant Street development with metrobar and the Alamo Drafthouse. All I can find on their social media is a 2022 opening. Anyone know any details?” Read More

“Dear PoPville,

I was in Joy’s Nail Spa on 18th street the other day and she told me that she’s closing in a week. I’m bummed, and was hoping you could show her some love. She deserves a vacation and hopefully with a bunch of support over the next week, she can take a good long one. Seems like she’s closing early next week.”
