Thanks to a reader for passing on the update from the owner of Keren. There was some small damage as a result of the nearby fire over Thanksgiving Day. Fortunately the damage was minor and will only take a few days to fix. Keren will be back in business soon so STAY TUNED FOR A REOPENING DATE!!

“Dear PoPville,
This morning in Adams Morgan I saw a woman sitting in the bus stop with a walker slide to the ground seemingly unconscious and twitching. None of the people waiting for the bus had any Narcan and so my friend and I went into Medstar Urgent Care, just feet away, to see if they had any on hand or could help assess the situation.
