This is the former home of The Spice & Tea Exchange. Bandoola Bowl’s Facebook page says:
“Southeast Asian salads, coming to Georgetown in fall 2018”
CityPaper reported that it comes from the owners of Mandalay Restaurant & Cafe in Silver Spring.
“Here at the Mandalay Café you will find dishes from all over the land of Myanmar (Burma). Burma occupies the territory in between India and China in Southeast Asia, and you may notice similarities between Burmese food and that of neighboring countries. You will also notice that Burmese cooking retains a unique identity all its own.
Burmese dishes encompass a full range of flavors and ingredients, including vegetarian and vegan options. Burmese cooking also offers a full range of spiciness from no heat up to as hot as you like. At every level of spiciness you will enjoy a meal full of flavor and texture.”
STAY TUNED. (more…)

“Wonder Woman filming – Pennsylvania Ave NW – all weekend
Just got a notice from my workplace on 9th St NW (at the corner of Pennsylvania Ave NW) saying our parking garage is closed all weekend for filming of the “Magic Hour” which I learned from PoPville is the new Wonder Woman film. VERY exciting.
Here’s the full info pasted below on street closures — note that “across from 801 Pennsylvania Ave NW” is basically across from the Navy Memorial, which began construction in 1985 and was unveiled in 1987, so if the rumor that the film takes place in 1984 is true, then they won’t be showing the Memorial itself in the film if they are being historically accurate.

“I was walking down Wisconsin Avenue earlier, and it looks like they’re making a storefront for Commander Salamander in Georgetown. I know that Wonder Woman is filming in this area, so it probably is for the movie.”
Commander Salamander was located at 1420 Wisconsin Ave, NW and is now an M&T Bank.

“Dear PoPville,
Thought you might like this – we got this notice about a movie filming in the next couple weeks on Wisconsin Ave.
Magichour (notice awesome logo) is actually Wonder Woman 2, according to the Google.”
Side Note: My sources on the street tell me that Chris Pine and Kristen Wiig were spotted at Chaia (3207 Grace Street, NW.) No Gal Gadot sightings yet.
