Thanks to Laura for sending the update:
“Looks like Cafe Unido’s Florida Ave location is a little closer to opening. They took down the window wraps just a few days ago and all lighting and seating is in place.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Something is working. The neighborhood has been a lot of quieter as of late. Saw where police busted two illegal ATV riders the other night.”
Last week we spoke about the DOH meeting about a “rat crisis” in Logan Circle. At that time I got a lot of messages about the crisis being in the whole city not just Logan. Well, Andrew now sends us this unpleasant clip: “Next to the drive-thru at the McD’s on Georgia Ave across from Howard U.”

Thanks to Mark for sharing: “The old Satellite Room building attached to the 930 Club has been torn down :(

and thanks to DCTitansFans for sharing: “Sadly, Republic in Takoma Park is closing in a couple of weeks.”

When the group opened Taqueria Las Gemelas and Destino in Union Market District’s La Cosecha in 2021, they realized that their new concepts encompassed everything they loved about Espita and then some.

Ghostburger will officially open on August 29th, 2022, and will be the first standalone location of the growing brand. (more…)
