“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know what happened to Stoney’s on L? They have been closed for almost a year now I think and their Google Maps shows “Temporarily Closed.” There is no note on the door and the chairs and tables are still inside. (more…)

Ed. Note: Black/Rat Snakes usually emerge around June, sometimes falling out of trees. Anyway, they don’t bother people and eat rats so while, jarring at first – release ALL the rat snakes!!

Western Market is a go! From a press release:
“Phase One: NOW OPEN
Capo Italian Deli
The popular italian sub shop that originated in Shaw and specializes in deli-style sub rolls with Boar’s Head meats properly sliced in front of you, in-house cooked roast beef, chicken parmigiana, special homemade Italian dressing and even witty cocktails, such as their popular “Fauci Pouchy.” Capo’s second brick-and-mortar location has reminiscents of the old school, hearty traditional italian deli’s found in cities like New York, Philadelphia and Boston with traditional classics found in your hometown deli to experience at Western Market.
Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls
Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls is a fast-casual concept, serving authentic, simply-prepared lobster rolls since the 2014 opening of their flagship in Annapolis, Maryland. Mason’s serves sustainable Maine Lobster, Crab, and Shrimp Rolls, Chowders, Bisques, and Maine Root sodas all direct from Maine. With locations all of the east coast, the Western Market location will be the latest location in Washington D.C.
RAWish
RAWish, a new concept from Gangster Vegan DMV owners James and Taneea Yarborough, offers an organic raw menu of creative salads, sandwiches, bowls, smoothies, and freshly pressed juices and nut milks. With a focus on making nutritious food affordable and accessible, RAWish is an exciting new chapter in the Yarboroughs’ commitment to re-inventing the plant-based lifestyle. The couple owns two Gangster Vegan locations (in Baltimore’s Cross Street Market and in Riverdale, MD).
Roaming Rooster
Roaming Rooster puts a modern spin on classic, homestyle southern fried chicken, using only hormone- and antibiotic-free grain-fed free-range chicken. The popular eatery that started as a single food truck in 2015 and rapidly expanded to a fleet of four trucks and a location in Woodridge, will open its second brick-and-mortar at Western Market. Roaming Rooster has not only a dedicated local following, but also received national attention during last year’s #chickenwars.”

“Dear PoPville,
I don’t know where else to put this but I wanted to say thank you to the kind person who helped me move my bike and check on me after I crashed on Friday night. It was between 22nd and 23rd on N St. NW a little after 7. I was very flustered and feel like I either forgot to thank you properly or not enough. It was very, very kind and I appreciated the help – I was a bit worse for ware in the moment.”
