“Dear PoPville,

My family and I came across Addis Paris Cafe last weekend during their soft opening. They’ve taken over the spot next to Sun Cinema where the Lia Cafe used to be.

We stopped for some Ethiopian food and nutella crepes – both were great. Lovely lady running the place.

Very excited to have some good Ethiopian food (especially, while Zenenbech is out of commission) and crepes (since Napolean turned into Lapis) in the area.”

Thanks to Nate for sending from Mt. Pleasant and Kilbourne St, NW on the side of the Subway. You can see past projections there, here. Admittedly, I don’t follow national news as closely as I do neighborhood news – what has CVS done to earn the honor?

Update: Hadn’t heard the rumors of a CVS coming to Bestworld:
