Reader Confirms Wawa in Adams Morgan is Closing Sunday July 5th

By Prince Of Petworth

Yesterday afternoon we shared some scuttlebutt about Adams Morgan’s Wawa likely closing next month. Turns out it’ll be sooner than that. A reader reports: “Just wanted to let you know that I confirmed Wawa is closing this coming Sunday for good. Sounds as though all employees will be transferred to other locations.”

Ed. Note: Some of the staff will likely be moved to the coming Thomas Circle location.

Update: Another reader hears closing “July 5th a manger told me yesterday. They are blaming it on Coronavirus and moving staff to NEW Thomas Circle store.”

Prior to Wawa this space was home to BicycleSpace, who was only here briefly, and also Slaviya and also Leftbank back in the day, Cities.

Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

“Is this only creepy to me?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if the community could help me solve a mystery. Three weeks ago I noticed this eery flashing red light in the window on California Street, NW. I think it’s on 24/7 but is only truly visible dusk / night.

At first I didn’t pay it too much mind… But it’s been WEEKS now. (more…)

From a press release:

“The Tryst Trading Company has announced it will now offer carryout with limited menu options at the Diner, in the Adams Morgan neighborhood.

The CEO and Owner Constantine Stavropoulos explains the priorities in safety and putting a limited staff back to work. “The health and safety of our staff is our first priority. Like many DC restaurants, we temporarily closed our restaurants in March. While it was a heartbreaking decision, we remained optimistic about reopening our doors in a safe and responsible manner. Our team members have been incredibly patient as we worked to reopen our doors.”

Guests can access the limited menu items from the Diner’s website, www.dinerdc.com. Carryout will be available daily, from 5 PM- 9 PM. (more…)

Thanks to William (and others) for passing on the notice from Federalist Pig:

“Hey Friends,

Two of our team members tested positive for COVID-19 this past weekend. The rest of our team tested negative.

Yesterday, we had a professional cleaning company come into the restaurant to thoroughly disinfect and sanitize the space. They used a virucide product which is approved to eliminate COVID-19.

We are taking today to reorganize our operations so we can be back to serving you on Thursday, May 21 (tomorrow). (more…)
