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.

We are taking today to reorganize our operations so we can be back to serving you on Thursday, May 21 (tomorrow). (more…)
18th Street, NW looking towards Columbia Road
From a press release:
“Earlier this month, community leaders announced the creation of the Adams Morgan Commercial Development Coalition (AMCDC), an organization focused on the reimagination and the livability of the Adams Morgan commercial core as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The AMCDC – consisting of neighborhood residents, commercial and mixed-use property owners and Adams Morgan business owners and employees – urges District of Columbia leaders to take bold action by empowering the Adams Morgan community to reinvent 18th Street. The AMCDC envisions a roadway used for additional outdoor spaces for pedestrian activity, neighborhood retailers and food and beverage establishments. (more…)

From The Potter’s House:
“On Wednesday, May 20, The Potter’s House will reopen its doors after going dark for more than two months during the coronavirus pandemic.
This nonprofit neighborhood institution, much-beloved in its Adams Morgan community, celebrated its 60th anniversary in April. It’s one of the longest-running enterprises in the city and one that has survived many hardships in the past.
But it’s much more than a cafe and bookstore — The Potter’s House is a hub of connection, a safe and welcoming gathering place for a deeply diverse community. Its reopening offers a ray of much-needed sunshine to the city. It’s a reassurance that The Potter’s House will continue to be here to offer hospitality, welcome, and comfort — even in the midst of a global pandemic. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m Mary’s neighbor from this post in January.
Since then, we’ve gotten two more mystery milk dropoffs. One in March, and one today (gotta say, quarantine has made me appreciate free shelf stable milk–after I disinfect the carton!) (more…)

Update from The Line DC’s manager:
“I would like to assure everyone that we are working on plans to reopen The LINE DC. We have been working diligently to develop the new protocols to look after the well being of our Employees & Guests when we open. Our sister hotel The LINE Austin will reopen May 21st as Texas has lifted the state’s stay at home order, and there are plans for The LINE DC to follow. We are respecting the DC Mayor ‘s orders and directions.
Also, I would like to assure our Neighbors that the Hotel Operation has always been compliant, and has exceeded the 51/51 hiring commitment, as certified by DOES. We have over 100 employees that live in Ward 1 (including myself) that we very much want to see back at work.
Thank you for your concern and for your support, it is most appreciated by all of us that are part of The LINE DC.
Crawford
Manager.”
Ed. Note: The Line opened up after much anticipation and not without controversy in 2017. The Line DC is also home to restaurants, A Rake’s Progress, Brothers And Sisters and Spoken English.
If true this would be devastating on many levels. We will be keeping a very close eye on this, for once I’m very much hoping a previously accurate tipster is wrong.
A tipster writes: “word on the street is The Line is completely closing for good.”
The Line DC’s website still says: “In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, all LINE Hotels are closed to the public including hotel rooms and all restaurants and bars.
Please check back here or on Instagram at @thelinehotel for re-opening updates and other information as things evolve.” (more…)

Both restaurants will offer their menus for pre-order via Tock, Wednesday through Sunday, starting on 5/15. (more…)
