“Dear PoPville,
STOP with Rat Poisoning: even small amounts kills dogs and other animals like squirrels, birds, and other wildlife….DO NOT put out green rat poison pellets, the rats carry them to other people’s yards and even trace amounts can be lethal to wildlife and our pets! We all want mice gone, but not at the expense of killing other harmless animals and our beloved pets. If you are putting it out, STOP and if you know others who are, please spread the word….let’s all use the HUMANE way to abate mice, put out traps and/or call 311 to talk to the rodent control they will help with finding burrows and making sure we take care of the problem the ethical way without selfishly and unethically killing our fur-babies! FYI – Glue Traps are also harmful as birds can fly into them and lose their wings. (more…)

Western Market is a go! From a press release:
“Phase One: NOW OPEN
Capo Italian Deli
The popular italian sub shop that originated in Shaw and specializes in deli-style sub rolls with Boar’s Head meats properly sliced in front of you, in-house cooked roast beef, chicken parmigiana, special homemade Italian dressing and even witty cocktails, such as their popular “Fauci Pouchy.” Capo’s second brick-and-mortar location has reminiscents of the old school, hearty traditional italian deli’s found in cities like New York, Philadelphia and Boston with traditional classics found in your hometown deli to experience at Western Market.
Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls
Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls is a fast-casual concept, serving authentic, simply-prepared lobster rolls since the 2014 opening of their flagship in Annapolis, Maryland. Mason’s serves sustainable Maine Lobster, Crab, and Shrimp Rolls, Chowders, Bisques, and Maine Root sodas all direct from Maine. With locations all of the east coast, the Western Market location will be the latest location in Washington D.C.
RAWish
RAWish, a new concept from Gangster Vegan DMV owners James and Taneea Yarborough, offers an organic raw menu of creative salads, sandwiches, bowls, smoothies, and freshly pressed juices and nut milks. With a focus on making nutritious food affordable and accessible, RAWish is an exciting new chapter in the Yarboroughs’ commitment to re-inventing the plant-based lifestyle. The couple owns two Gangster Vegan locations (in Baltimore’s Cross Street Market and in Riverdale, MD).
Roaming Rooster
Roaming Rooster puts a modern spin on classic, homestyle southern fried chicken, using only hormone- and antibiotic-free grain-fed free-range chicken. The popular eatery that started as a single food truck in 2015 and rapidly expanded to a fleet of four trucks and a location in Woodridge, will open its second brick-and-mortar at Western Market. Roaming Rooster has not only a dedicated local following, but also received national attention during last year’s #chickenwars.”
