“Dear PoPville,
What is the deal with Alfresco in Adams Morgan? It’s been closed for months now and it makes me so sad to see such a gorgeous space so empty. Sometimes I’ll see people working around inside and have hope they’ll reopen soon but no luck. Anyone know?”
Mark it as scuttlebutt but it’s from a very solid source. I hear a sports bar is coming!!
Stay tuned for confirmation.

“18th STREET LOOKS FANTASTIC WITHOUT STREETERIES.!!!! But DDOT and the BID plan to build new ones this week Many(most?) businesses do no want them

From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced PARK(ing) Day 2024 will be held on Friday, September 20 from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The popular event temporarily converts on-street parking spaces into pop-up parks allowing people to visualize and explore alternative uses for curb space. Since 2013, the success of this event has led to the creation of more permanent public space activation programs, such as DDOT’s Parklet Program and Streatery Program.
In tandem with PARK(ing) Day, DDOT is installing new streatery structures in Adams Morgan on 18th Street NW between Columbia Road and Kalorama Road, in partnership with the Adams Morgan Partnership Business Improvement District (AMPBID) and 33 small businesses. (more…)
