Sprig and Sprout Closing After 13 Years in Glover Park (after Sunday’s Service)

Thanks to all who passed on the sad news from Sprig and Sprout:

“After 13 incredible years in Glover Park, we’re heartbroken to share that

Sprig & Sprout will be closing our doors for good at the end of the night on Sunday, July 27.

This has been one of the hardest decisions Marc and I have had to make—and we announce this with disappointed hearts. For over three years, we’ve been operating without a formal lease, without any legal protections, and only crushing silence from our landlord. The repairs on the building have become overwhelming and without any response from our landlord we essentially are being constructively evicted.

More than anything, the burden of maintaining the building has pulled our focus away from what mattered most: the food, the service, and you. (more…)

EXCLUSIVE: Call Your Mother Park View Prepares to Reopen Inside!!

“Dear PoPville,

I went to the Park View Call Your Mother this morning and you could see like 80% of the place inside was empty. They’ve got rid of all the production equipment and setup that used to take up most of the footprint. I’m just really hoping they’re not planning to close it.”

Fear not, it’s just the opposite – the folks from CYM tell me:

“Just getting ready to reopen the inside. About 20 seats. Hoping end of August!

Time to take it back to the good old days!”

DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson: “It’s clear that the Commanders showed through their negotiations their commitment to the District.”

From the office of DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson:

“DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announced today that the Committee of the Whole will hold a vote on the “Robert F. Kennedy Campus Redevelopment Act of 2025.”

“Today we’re scheduling a vote for Friday August 1, 2025 to consider the RFK campus legislation,” Mendelson said. “We’ve been working with the Washington Commanders for several weeks and we feel we have a much-improved agreement that would bring the team back to their historical home, as well as develop the land around the RFK campus.”

“It’s clear that the Commanders showed through their negotiations their commitment to the District. And their willingness to consider what’s in the best interest of our citizens. The process working with the Commanders has been extremely productive and they’ve been a cooperative partner.

“Overwhelmingly, residents have asked the Council for due diligence on this multi-billion-dollar deal. And under immense outside pressure to rush the process, I feel that, along with next weeks’ hearings, the Council will have what’s needed to move forward with a vote.”

The Committee of the Whole and the Committee on Business & Economic Development will hold a public hearing on the legislation on July 29 and a hearing with government and team officials on July 30.
