“Dear PoPville,
I found an engagement-type ring in the dirt in front of Dance Place in Brookland earlier this month. (Around April 5th.) I have posted in the Brookland DC Facebook group and on DC reddit and have had no luck at finding the owner. The consensus seems to be it is definitely not costume jewelry. Sharing here as a last resort trying to find the owner!”

“Dear PoPville,
What’s up with the Marshalls in Friendship Heights?? They closed in the middle of day on the 9th with no notice and as of Friday seem to still be closed. First they take away the TJ Maxx (which has been closed for ages) and now this? What gives??” (more…)

I don’t know if it’s just because I’m old but this one hits hard. I remember the excitement of when they first opened, which feels not that long ago… 17 years!!
About a week ago Sticky Rice shared the super sad news:
“After 17 unforgettable years, Sticky Rice DC is closing its doors. 💔
This decision wasn’t easy. The pandemic, decreased foot traffic, rising food costs, labor costs, and the impact of Initiative 82 have all made it impossible for us to continue. We fought hard—but it’s time to say goodbye. (more…)
2319 Wisconsin Ave, NW
Well breath deeply either way…
Prior to Glover Tobacco this space was home to Glover Books & Music, Tennis Zone and most recently a bank ATM.
And now I’m going to wonder the streets trying to remember Glover Books & Music. I may shake a fist or two at the sky. But I’ll be alright. The birds will cheer me up.
