“Friends! Before anyone goes running to the rumor mill…
This banner is 29 years old!
It needs replacing!
We’re still here.
New banner coming this week.
(But yes, as ever, please support the local businesses you want to see in the world.)❤️✌🏼”
29 years!?! Amazing. And PHEW.

A couple of weeks ago we learned that the “Final service at Hiraya and Kayu on H Street will be on June 30.” At that time they said:

Thanks to Chris for sending where Kayu will open this summer: (more…)
Thanks to Brent for sending:
“Dupont Circle- when you don’t move your car for the market, you become part of the market!“

From WMATA: (more…)
Thanks to Emmanuel and Alex for sending: “@PoPville The fencing around Dupont Circle is coming down this AM. Confirmed by @DCPoliceDept Officer.”

“The new marijuana dispensary has it signs up on 17th St. in the old subway location in Dupont.”
The Subway closed here after 21 years, in September 2024.
Crisis apparently NOT averted…

Thanks to K. and E. for sending: (more…)
