Compass Coffee Taking Over Foxtrot Space in Adams Morgan – Could Be Opening as early as Friday!

By Prince Of Petworth


1827 Adams Mill Road, NW, prior to Foxtrot this space was home to a Philz coffee, which closed back in January 2023. Prior to Philz this space was a gas station and I used to buy Parliament lights, (yes I grew up on Strong Island), there on my way to Angles (RIP) but enough about me.

At the Harris Thomas Pool on Saturday: “sewage was pouring out of the locker room drains”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

and from another reader on Saturday around 4pm:

“Everyone just got kicked out of Harry Thomas pool because “sewage was pouring out of the locker room drains. It was wild! The staff told people to “wear shoes” as they exited through the locker rooms.”

Stay tuned.
