“Dear PoPville,
So about a month ago we decided to go to Cafe Bonaparte in Georgetown for brunch, but it was closed with papered up windows and a sign about being closed for the week to paint.

Ed. Note: The Berliner only opened up next door/underneath Gypsy Sally’s about a year ago. I haven’t heard if the building sale/condo conversion will affect them. Stay tuned.
Thanks to all who messaged us. I keep forgetting to post this from Gypsy Sally’s:
“As you may have heard, our landlord recently sold the building where we have resided since 2013. It will be developed into condominiums. With great sadness, Gypsy Sally’s will have its final load-out on January 5th, 2020. Until then, we plan on conducting business as usual with a full calendar of great music for you to enjoy. Stay tuned for info in the coming weeks regarding John Kadlecik’s plans for our final show. It is only fitting that John should preside over our send off, and we are honored that he will be hosting our closing festivities. (more…)

Jacks letter to the Zoning Board, first reported by The Hoya.
You mess with my bagels? This is war.”

Curious. Thanks to a reader for sending word. Their website says Temporarily Closed. When I called the store they said there was some construction being done but that they’d reopen in 8 days – next Tuesday. Curious. (more…)

Thanks to Sean for sending the photo update about Call Your Mother Georgetown (and don’t forget there are plans for Capitol Hill too. (more…)
Ben and Jerry’s closed here over the summer after being in business 25 years. I had seen the sign above go up a couple weeks ago but now we know who – Michael Neibauer reports, “Interior demo at 3135 M St. NW for the planned Allbirds store.” (more…)

Ah this is a bummer. Admittedly, I was a huge fan of the previous tenant, The Bean Counter, but this is space is so sweet with a great hidden gem of a back patio. Total bummer. From the owners: (more…)
