“Dear PoPville,

Some friends found this dog near the Harris Teeter around 17th & Kalorama last night (4/2/14). We gave her a bath and cut off the biggest clumps of matted hair – it’s possible she’s been on her own for a few weeks. Right now she’s staying with another little dog who seems OK with the intrusion.

She’s really a sweet dog, confident and happy, but also grateful for attention. She probably 10 pounds, and the woman from the Humane Society said she’s probably 3 or 4 years old, and generally healthy. She’s quite alert and very friendly.

A stranger said she looks like a Morkie (Maltese / Yorkie).

You can e-mail [email protected] or call 202-487-4253.”

The space formerly home to Slaviya which has been closed for years has finally lost the huge awning. Hoping that means a new (good) tenant soon for the huge space.

Actually the switch came in November but the new signage just went up yesterday:

“We feed people. We’re a full service restaurant and cafe. Mornings offer up Hawthorne Fine Breakfast Pastry and Vigilante Coffee. DELISH! Lunch, come in for a panini, salad or great house made soups. Happy Hour on Tuesday and Wednesday from 4-7. Dinnertime – Belgian beers, nice wine selection and hearty yummy meals. Thats what we do. When you think you’re done, check out the dessert case. House made chocolates, mousse cakes and an array of pastries make it hard to stop at just dinner. Dessert is a must.”

Thanks to the folks at Potter’s House for letting us know:

“You had a post late last year about The Potter’s House closing for renovations. Wanted to let you know that construction on the renovations has started at The Potter’s House. We plan to reopen in September.”

Their website says:

“When we re-open in 2014, our cafe will have a whole new style. While remaining affordable and accessible, we will have an increased focus on the health of our bodies and the food system as a whole.

We are working with the Food Works Group to develop a seasonally rotating menu that is sourced from local farmers and producers. Everything is still in the works, but you can expect sandwiches, salads, soups and sides with a Southern accent.

We are in conversation with some of the country’s leading coffee roasters about sourcing direct trade beans for our espresso and pour over coffee program. The Potter’s House was one of the first spots in DC to offer espresso, and we are excited to return to this tradition of hospitality.”

and

“We are an independent bookstore with a special emphasis on spirituality, social issues, and cultural studies. Our curated collection also includes a selection of literature, poetry, and children’s books.

While the bookstore is closed for renovations, we can still fulfill special orders. To place an order, email [email protected] or call 202.232.5483.

When we return in 2014, we will have regular author events and reading groups, a selection of handmade gifts and cards, and an IndieBound online bookstore complete with e-books, essential reading lists, and reviews.”

From Rise Bakery’s Facebook page:

“Washington DC’s first and only gluten-free bakery. Opening summer 2014!

Rise Bakery will be opening its doors in the heart of Adams Morgan on 18th street.

Our culinary artists have spent over a year creating our menu, using unique blends of featherlight flours to bring you baked goods that are so delicious you won’t have any idea they are gluten-free.

We are prepared to serve a daily assortment of everything from muffins and danishes to cakes, cupcakes and tarts. Our cafè will offer gourmet sandwiches on artisan bread.

We will be making menu items public one at a time as we inch closer to our grand opening, so stay tuned to keep updated on what’s RISIN’!”
