Thanks to Josh for passing on word from Scion:
“Scion Dupont will permanently close for business Tuesday August 7, 2018. As we approached the culmination of our ten year lease we have been able to reflect upon what an honor it has been to serve the Dupont Circle community but also recognize the time has come to make way for something new and exciting! It has been our greatest honor to be a part of this neighborhood and we will miss the many friendships we have made over craft beer, burgers and of course, brunch! (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I recently moved out of my apartment and jumped through all the appropriate hoops to get the street parking spots in front of my building reserved for a moving truck. My permits were approved well before my move, and I posted and verified the signs one week prior to my move date (signs must be posted a minimum of 72 hours in advance).
Despite all this, two cars were still parking in my reserved zone at 9am on the morning of my move! One had been there all night, and the other parked sometime that morning. Ultimately, I had to get both towed because A) I had hired movers to show up at 10am and B) there was nowhere else to park the truck without blocking the street. (more…)

Alvida, Khudaa-haafiz, Adios, Au-revoir, Sayonara, Goodbye.”
Ed. Note: Pansaari opened back in September 2014 in the former location of Club Chaos, which closed in 2008.

Popped into The News Room (or is “The Newsroom”) at Fla. & Conn. Aves. NW this Sat. for for usual copy of the FT Weekend edition (fantab Arts section) and Mexican Coca-Cola in a bottle,
then before I could look for a copy Mad magazine (which I hear is as great as ever w/ all the fodder given them by the Age of Trump; Matt Groenig now advising writers I think) for the 11 yr old away-at-camper in my life, my heart sunk at the sight of this horror!
