“Dear PoPville,
Can you ask everyone why the trees are gone on the corner of Columbia and 18th? They were basically brand new and were a great addition and now they’re gone! (they were where the little mulch squares are in the photo)”
This rental is located at 813 4th Street, NE. The Craigslist ad says:

“As Metro works to modernize its fare system, construction is set to begin on Monday, August 8 at the NoMa-Gallaudet U Station and will require the entrances to be closed one at a time, starting with the south entrance at M St NW. Once the work is completed and the south entrance reopens, Metro will move to the north entrance on Florida Ave.

Update from Rappahannock Oyster Bar owner Travis Croxton via email:
“I just saw a story on PoPville from Sarah and wanted to clarify a couple things for Rappahannock Oyster Bar. Our last day is Saturday. The post states that “it doesn’t fit their business model anymore” – that’s out of context a little bit – it’s not our business model but rather is the only explanation the landlord gave to us (meaning “their business model”, not ours). They told us to vacate the premises and gave us two months notice, which puts us at the end of August. But we really want to get our great staff incorporated over to the Wharf and that’s why we may leave a little sooner.
The restaurant was doing great – this is by no means a financial decision whatsoever (and again, it was not our decision) – we had rebounded in an amazing way after the initial COVID onslaught and had better success than ever, so honestly the news hit us like a punch to the gut. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I am hoping someone from the community may have a better camera angle or may have seen something to help identify the car that hit my car. This happened on 10th and Spring Rd in front of Raymond Elementary School (Friday)..”
Thanks to all who reported last night: “18th Street, Adams Morgan 10-ish. No idea the details but everyone was standing around trying to figure it out” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I went past the old Panera spot at Dupont, and with the lights on inside and it being dark outside, I could read the window that’s papered over. Photo underneath- it says Just Walk Out technology on it. Maybe becoming one of the Amazon supermarkets?” (more…)
