Coming to the former Up ‘n Smoke space at 2503 Champlain Street, NW next to Tiny Vinyl
Ending the day on a STRONG note with some spectacular scuttlebutt!!
I hear that Call Your Mother is coming to the former Up ‘n Smoke space on Champlain Street just off Columbia near the Line Hotel.

Back in May readers reported: ‘Readers report: “ABCA shut down B&K Convenience in Adams Morgan. This place is a staple that’s been here forever.”

At that time I was told that the new owners plan to “completely raze the building and build a mixed use building with retail space at ground level and condos for sale/rent above street level”.
Thanks to Jay for sending: “Alfresco Tap and Grill to be demolished. Alfresco Tap and Grill was just finished a few years ago. What a waste of resources.”
