“Dear PoPville,
A friend walked by Filter and he told me the espresso machine and most of the stuff inside was gone? Are they closing? moving? I know they have been closed since the beginning of the pandemic, with that part of town with very few workers, nothing would surprise me.”
I stopped by over the weekend and saw this sign on their door: (more…)

Thanks to Emily for passing on from Bon Matcha:
“After careful thought and consideration, we regret to say that Bôn Matcha will open its I St windows for the last time on December 13, 2020. For the past three years it has been our great joy and privilege to celebrate our heritage as Asian Americans with all of you. Thank you for letting us be a part of your routines for self-care, your weekend treats, and your midday breaks. Though we close our windows for now, we confess that we don’t believe this is goodbye, but rather, until next time. We have been blessed to be a part of your stories, and we promise that we have many more we’d like to tell. We eagerly look forward to the new hope and opportunity that tomorrow brings and hope to see you soon.” (more…)

Thanks to all who sent the following letters about the sudden dismissal of School Without Walls Principal Richard Trogisch. First via Change.org by Daya George, President of student government at School Without Walls:
“The School Without Walls faculty, students and families are calling for an immediate reinstatement of Richard Trogisch as Principal of our respective schools.
The community is extremely disappointed and concerned in response to Principal Richard Trogisch’s removal as principal of School Without Walls High School and School Without Walls at Francis Stevens. Principal Trogisch consistently advocated for us as students but also as members of the DC community. Under his leadership, School Without Walls excelled and is now ranked as the top public high school in the city. Removing Principal Trogisch at this time may cause a number of devastating impacts on the School Without Walls community. His removal destabilizes the school community in this already chaotic time. During this difficult time, we are all craving some normalcy, and removing Principal Trogisch undermines the school’s stability and increases the trauma of the time period. Principal Trogisch consistently advocated for us and for our voices to be heard. We can see that advocacy slipping away in real-time. (more…)
