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.

“Achtung: What you are about to read might upset you! Everything has an end – only the sausage has two“ (German saying)

We wholeheartedly thank you for the unforgettable time here in AdMo

As you might have heard through the grape vine, it is true:

August 1st is not only the day when we first received the key to our door to Germany here at 1654 Columbia Rd. four years ago; it is also going to be the day we will be returning it as this location will be closed down on August 1st

We are grateful for all your support and use of our beloved AdMo living room throughout Sunday, July 31st.

We appreciate all your loyalty, open mindedness towards our modern/Northern German craziness, your friendship, relationship, story exchanges, constructive criticism which has made us stronger and better at what we do; and your support in general throughout the good times as well as the bad ones.

The initial overwhelming sadness that we felt is healing through looking back on the four years spend together as a community. Our hearts are filled with a sense of pride and happiness, looking back on memories made such as: (more…)
