“Dear PoPville,
I saw there was a story on Harpeth Swill closing, do you have any idea what is replacing it? Lots of plants outside that seem new, and a new name “Coin Des Poetes?”
The “poets corner” almost reminds me a bit of the old sarcastic murals from Shaw (Slum Historique) at 9th and Q and Rhode Island, NW. Here’s a photo I took of that from 2008 since completely renovated: (more…)
