Sarah reports:
“Looks like the Decades night club in dupont is opening a diner. I think this is the former Pasara Thai spot.”
Updates when they get closer to opening.
Well this is bonkers. The Washington Post reports:
“Red Apron Burger Bar, the fast-casual spot that introduced local sourcing to the traditionally opaque world of hamburger patties, will shut down its storefront off Dupont Circle on Sunday, less than nine months after it debuted to much fanfare. Neighborhood Restaurant Group and Red Apron Butcher, partners in the venture, will relaunch the concept Tuesday at EatBar on Barracks Row for both delivery and dine-in.”

“Dear PoPville,
Three (maybe four) large SUVs parked IN A BUS ZONE on Wednesday night in Dupont, on Connecticut Ave, right in front of the long line for a popular club (I’m pretty sure it was Decades.)
The bus driver said this happens every night. None of the cars had tickets. I think they should have like 15 tickets, and be towed. (more…)
Thanks to all who’ve been messaging about Dupont Circle’s newest resident. Lindsay writes:

“Dear PoPville,
One year ago, you posted a story about David Narvaez, who was killed in a hit-and-run. The driver has still not been found. We are friends of David’s and just hung this poster around the site (23rd and New Hampshire NW.) This poster has been approved by MPD. Any tips would be so appreciated to help the family achieve some closure.”

“Dear PoPville,
I noticed this graffiti on my walk to work this a.m. at approx. 8:30. I assumed it was graffiti and not an avant-garde art piece because of the location (near the scaffolding) and the normally pristine conditions of the Phillips. Any thoughts?”
