Back in 2010, before the craft coffee boom hit full stride, we asked if this cafe was a contender for Best Coffee in Town? Anyone know if they are closed for renovations or closed for “renovations”? (more…)

Down go two more legends (in August anyway.) Like Millie & Al’s et al, for me, they’ll be missed for the memories. Thanks to all who passed on the big news from Washingtonian:
“Buffalo Billiards will shutter after 25 years, while the Front Page will say goodbye after 32 years. (more…)
Thanks to Harrison O’Neill for sending:
“Just saw this on IG. Sign of the Whale closing… again?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
There used to be a gas station in the slice of land in Eastern Georgetown bounded by 28th, M, and Pennsylvania. The gas station was torn down a couple of years ago, and now it’s just an empty lot with this window standing alone. Does anyone know what’s going on here?”

1 Dupont Circle, NW. via James Hoban’s Irish Restaurant and Bar
From an email:
“After 12 exciting, successful and happy years trading in Dupont Circle, we have decided to accept an offer from the Mission group to sell James Hobans.
When we opened James Hobans 12 years ago our goal was to present many of the best aspects of Irish hospitality in a modern setting. It is for others to judge whether we achieved this, but for as long as we have been here we have become the first port of call for so many Irish and other visitors to DC including a great number of politicians, diplomats and journalists.
