“Dear PoPville,
Do you know why part of Thomas Street in Bloomingdale has been closed for the past few weeks? I assumed it was from the water project construction on RI, but apparently it’s “not safe” to even walk on.”

Irving and Warder Street, NW
Thanks to all who shared the sad scene from the recently opened Aurora Market in Park View:
“Unfortunate, when your a small business owner dedicated to the local community, decide to take a day off after working 7 days a week for 3 months to celebrate Easter with your family, and then get robbed!” (more…)
2805 M Street, NW
Thanks to EJ for the update: “Feta Cafe & Bakery has opened. I stopped in for some coffee and they have a pretty large menu of breakfast sandwiches and lunch items. On the menu are Jerusalem bagels, gyros, sandwiches, croissants… a pretty mixed bag leaning Mediterranean.”

Thanks to Ishaba and others who send word that the Philz in Dupont is closing on Apr 30th. One reader wrote:
“Philz in Dupont says they’re closing at the end of the month. DM’d them on Instagram and they said it was “purely a financial decision.” Wonder what the deal is since it’s always pretty packed and popular.”
Philz opened here to much excitement back in 2018. Prior to them this was the home to a Cosi that closed back in 2014. Updates when we learn more.
