Back in March we learned the former Trohv space would be subdivided into four units and now we know one will be a Starbucks. Thanks to A.S.K. for sending:
“Starbucks is one of the businesses replacing Trohv in Takoma!”
Ed. Note: Don’t forget the excellent La Mano Coffee Bar is just down the street at 304 Carroll Street, NW.
“Dear PoPville,
I was the unfortunate victim of a car break in that happened in front of my house between 10:30 and 11:30 this morning, in broad daylight. They busted my car window and made off with a laptop bag with my computer and passport. The car was parked on a quiet sleepy street up in Takoma, right next to the Takoma Rec Center. I know it is never smart to leave anything in the car, but I was hoping we might get something back.
If anyone comes across a black bag, Macbook Air or a US and/or UK passport, could they could contact me at [email protected] or turn it to the DC Police 4th District.”

A reader reports:
“I just walked by this – what looks like a new place opening – and wonder if you or your PoPVille readers know anything about it. The location is Takoma, DC on 4th Street NW between Cedar and Butternut. I don’t usually take more than a passing glance at new openings, but I used to be a tutor in the DC Public School System so this sign really caught my eye. I would love to know more about this place.”
Anyone familiar with them? There is a Tutoring Cafe affiliated with the Eddie Nash Foundation:
“The Tutoring Cafe: One-on-one tutoring is provided to help foster youth students achieve their academic goals.”
From the fine folks at 3 Stars Brewing Company (6400 Chillum Place, NW):
“Heads up!!!! In case you haven’t seen all the coverage on social media, we are releasing our new Double IPA, #ultrafresh, today at the brewery. This beer is brewed with Glaxy, Topaz and Columbus hops and comes in at a nicee 8.3% abv. Big, juicy hop notes fill your nose and dance across your tongue before finishing with a well balanced bitterness. Doors will open at 4pm and there is a two 4-pack limit per customer. This is a very limited release and will likely not make it out into the market, so get yours while you can. Stay tuned for more details on upcoming releases and events including more info on next Sunday’s BBQ (5/22/16). Thanks for your support and keep drinking great local beer.”

Abigail asks:
“Construction on the old Trohv in Takoma DC. Do you know what will replace it?”
I’m told:
“The owner of the property is dividing the space into 4 small retail spaces. The spaces will have doors that now face Maple St, NW. No public announcements yet on who the tenants are.”
Stay tuned!
