“Dear PoPville,
As a Friendship Heights resident, I’m very excited for Trader Joe’s (and bummed it looks like we’ll have to wait till after Thanksgiving!), and am also hoping that Total Wine brings folks to the area and helps breathe some more life into it.

Thanks to Shawn for sending the photo above and asking for an update on the Due South that was coming to Chevy Chase in the former Organic Wine spot. Well I finally got the scoop on what’s going on.
