“Dear PoPville,
I recall that months ago you featured an under-construction huge popup at 611 2nd St. NE . . . the one next to Union Veterinary Clinic. I bike by it daily on my way to work and took the attached photo today. As per the sign in front, “4 Designer Condominiums,” 2 bed + 2 bath, starting at $519,000. All things considered, I think it turned out well. I’m curious to read what Popville thinks of it!”
I agree looks much better from this angle. Now what do you think about the price? :)

Back in December we heard that an REI Flagship Store could be coming to the renovated Uline Arena in NoMa. At that time REI said they were excited about DC but they had “not finalized the decision”. Well, I’m happy to report the decision has been finalized for an REI!!! I got an email from REI about an event next week where lots more details including early store designs will be revealed “for your future REI Flagship in NoMa”. Stay tuned.
Ed. Note: The email mentions NoMa but not specifically the Uline Arena, presumably that is still the location – as stated above – lots more details coming soon.

@alanhenney tweeted:
“u/d METROBUS SHOOTING- Result of fight on Bus #2352 (not moving); approx. 45 passengers on board; 21yom shot in rt thigh + 47yom rt hand.”
At this point most people agree (as you can tell by the crowds) that Union Market has become a dining destination with new spots continuing to open. I stand by my love for Neopol Savory Smokery. But nevermind debating the food, I wanna talk about the seats. I’m not talking about the regular restaurant seats but the shared seating. What is the etiquette? When I stopped by last weekend there were lots of folks standing around looking for tables and there were lots of people lounging around at tables sipping coffee and/or just reading the paper. Which is cool but there seems to be a seating shortage at least on the weekends. So what do you think is the proper etiquette? Only take a table if you’re actually eating? Or screw it, first come first served and I’m gonna take my time and enjoy? Is there a middle ground?

Never noticed this before – embedded in the floor right near the main entrance and Bidwell.
Thanks to a reader for sending:
“I saw this on an office building in NoMa. Any idea where the stat comes from?”
I’m guessing the NoMa BID did a poll of some sort. Here’s the map of the NoMa boundaries from the Business Improvement District:
Thanks to a reader for sending. It’s particularly strange because they only just opened relatively recently back in 2012. Maybe Dunkin Donuts will take the space…
Thanks to @jwetz who tweets us the update:
“The #NoMa Harris Teeter is finally open again, with a “please come back” sale. @PoPville”
From Union Station:
Thanks to @ahchenza for updated us on NoMa’s Harris Teeter closure:
“@PoPville someone mentioned they were open this morning and now closed during lunch time.”
