“Dear PoPville,
I’m in escrow on a house in Fort Lincoln area and to be fair, we put in the offer after my husband saw the place and I was making the offer site-unseen. After our home inspection today I’m FREAKING OUT. I can’t get a good feel for the neighborhood. Some houses had bars on windows, there was a shady character on one street, and then $500k homes on the next.
Could you post soliciting folks in the neighborhood for feedback? We have to make a decision by Wednesday! Wondering about safety, grocery stores, and general feel for the neighborhood.
Thanks so much for helping avoid a disaster!”

“This is clown parking bro. Dude just rolled in and took FOUR SPOTS. Frickin MD drivers #amirite
I mean, in fairness the parking lot was pretty empty so he wasn’t inconveniencing anyone. But the principle of it…”
Thanks to Justin for sending the update: “They’ve finally got a structure up for the Ft Lincoln Chik fil A… directly across from the Lowe’s”
“Dear PoPville,
Heads up for anyone headed CostCo in NE… they’ve cleared out most of the meat due to the heat and anything still available is ‘insulated’ under cardboard. Other open refrigerated sections are shielded with pull-down shades. Pretty wild ahead of the holiday. This was around 6:30pm Monday night.”

“Trammell Crow Company (TCC), along with Fort Lincoln New Town Corporation and CSG Urban Partners, announce Starbucks, Five Below, Vitamin Shoppe, Panda Express, and T-Mobile have signed long term leases at The Shops at Dakota Crossing [South Dakota Ave NE and 33rd St NE], a 430,000-square-foot retail center located in NE Washington, D.C. All stores plan to open in early 2017. These new leases bring the center to nearly 90 percent leased.
“We are very pleased to see the Shops at Dakota Crossing continues to attract high quality, national retailers that add to the best-in-class roster of tenants already operating in the center and provide the kind of services the residents of Ward 5 want and deserve,“ said Adam Weers, Principal within TCC’s MidAtlantic Business Unit.
“Fort Lincoln has become one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the District and this impressive set of new tenants in the Center proves that it has also become one of the District’s premier retail destinations,” added Michele V. Hagans, President and CEO of Fort Lincoln New Town Corporation.
The retail center is anchored by Costco, Lowe’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods, which are currently open, and Marshall’s and PetSmart, which will open this fall.“
“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if anyone had any updates on the opening date for the new Dick’s Sporting Goods at Dakota Crossing. The parking lot is now set and they have sectioned it off to divide it from ongoing construction. There are huge signs saying Opening Soon, but I can’t find a date…”
They started hiring sales associates for this location on July 25th so it’s gotta be real soon! Standby.
