“Dear PoPville,
I was walking by the public house on my walk home from work, and saw a sign where the Chick-fil-A was supposed to be that said it was going to be a bank. I can’t tell if that was a joke or not though. Have you heard anything about this? I haven’t seen anything since you posted about it last November so I’m wondering if it did end up becoming a bank.”
It is no joke! But the bank is coming one storefront down to the former Little Beet space: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I saw the news a couple months ago about a number (8?) of Taylor Gourmet locations opening under new ownership. Just this morning a friend posted to Instagram about a new one in her building in Dupont, and I think the old one by the White House and one in North Bethesda are back open but I’m not sure. Do you have any intel on the locations that will reopen under the original name?
Early thoughts from readers on how faithful it is to the original would be interesting too.“
