“Dear PoPville,
Do you have any idea if and when the Cove shared workspaces will be re-opening in DC? I was a member of their Dupont Circle office but I can’t seem to get any useful information from the company. Its domain name is cove.is which appears to be in…Iceland??”
Ed. Note: Not looking good. I know they had locations in Columbia Heights and Dupont. Any other DC spots?

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to write in here on behalf of my dad. He told me he was in Dupont on Thursday morning at around 8:00am getting his morning Starbucks coffee when a shirtless man with a hammer approached him on the sidewalk outside the PNC bank. The man said he had just gotten out of prison and could hit him with the hammer and no one would find out. My dad said he just told the man “Ok” and walked away. He didn’t seem very shocked by the whole fiasco but I am! Stay alert people!”
