Sushi Bar will be located next to the new Walgreens in the old Taco Bell/KFC space at 4221 Connecticut Ave, NW.
Van Ness
Dear PoP,
Any news on when the new Walgreens in Van Ness is due to open? The signs are up and it looks like it is very close to ready — and at least from the outside, it looks like it is going to be huge.
I stopped by 4225 Connecticut Ave, NW on Sat. and was told they’ll be opening up Dec. 23rd. And it is gigantic. I think the building turned out pretty well.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if anyone knows when the tennis courts at UDC were closed to the public. I’ve taken a long break from tennis but went to play at the courts at UDC, which in the past were open to the public, on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and all of the other courts around there were full. The courts at UDC were empty and the sign said they were reserved for UDC faculty, students, employees and a tennis team. But there was no one on them. It seems like kind of a waste for a beautiful Sunday afternoon.”
Anyone know if the UDC courts are permanently closed to the public? I know there are some relatively nearby courts at 32nd St NW & Brandywine St NW that you can check out as well.

Sorry it took me so long to get around to posting this sad news. Shanghai Garden was located at 4469 Connecticut Ave, NW. We judged them back in Dec. ’09. I know there are big development plans for this space but it’s working its way through the ANC/permitting process. I’ll be sure to update when construction progresses.

Does $1,395 sound right for a 512 sq feet 1 bed/1 bath rental?
Thanks to a reader for sending the photo. Is this right next to where the Taco Bell used to be?
