“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?”

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.
