From an email:

“We’re excited to invite everyone to join us at an Adams Morgan Day [taking place Sept. 11 from noon to 6pm] benefit concert at Songbyrd Music House and Record Café on Wednesday, August 10 at 7:30 pm ($10 suggested donation at the door); and a fundraising happy hour at Jug & Table/Roofers Union on Tuesday, August 30. Both fun AdMo venues are located on 18th Street NW, just south of Columbia Road.”

Just leads not lectures, thanks.

“Dear PoPville,

A backpack was stolen from my car in Adams Morgan Monday between 115-2pm. The owner is in the military and the backpack contained military awards, passport, birth certificate, checkbook, laptop, medical records..everything! He is so devastated. This was a black, large North Face backpack stuffed and heavy. We assume someone took the laptop and threw the backpack in a dumpster or bushes. The incident occurred in the 2300 block of Champlain St, NW.

Could residents, dog walkers, runners, etc in Adams Morgan please keep an eye out for a black backpack thrown to the side of the streets?

Please contact me at [email protected] if there are any leads.”

Back in June we heard some scuttlebutt that “Cucina Al Volo set to replace Pasta Mia” but there’s no info on their twitter or facebook and their website is not active. So not clear if they’re still planning on taking over the space (or taking the Pasta Mia name?) or someone else is coming but one thing’s for sure – we’ll know by August 12th!

Back in March we learned:

“Insomnia Cookies has officially signed its first lease in Washington D.C. after years of looking for a location. The D.C. storefront is set to begin delivering warm, delicious cookies to the capital city this summer. The new location at 2318 18th Street NW in Adams Morgan will open to serve retail customers daily from 11 a.m. until 3 a.m. and will begin delivery from noon until 3am.”

They were originally hoping to open this summer but it looks like, like Nando’s, Fall might be more realistic. Stay tuned.
