9th and N Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard anything about the Union Kitchen on 9th and N St NW? I walked by yesterday (1/9) and it’s completely papered over and dark inside. I didn’t see any signage indicating a closure or remodel.
I live right around the corner and love their breakfast bar so hoping they aren’t going anywhere!”
Update from Union Kitchen: “Hi! We’re undergoing some renovations. Reopening tomorrow and excited to welcome you back!”
Thanks to Charlotte for sending this cool perspective taken around 12:30pm.

Two and a half months ago my dog and I started going to the revamped Shaw dog park. We were stoked since it’s much bigger than most dog parks in the area and it’s convenient location. Then trouble began. (more…)
