Thanks to a reader for sending word:

“Have you heard anything about the Crumbs & Coffee shop in Adams Morgan on Columbia Rd? It has been closed for the past couple weeks (doors locked, lights off, etc.) and today I saw a sign that said “we are closed -mgmt”. It was unclear, however, if that meant permanently closed or temporarily.

It is a solid little neighborhood spot, with friendly people, and a down-to-earth atmosphere.”

Word on the street is closed for good but I’ll update when/if it becomes official. Coffee glut in Adams Morgan?

“A pet peeve. Security Moving and Storage’s office is only three blocks away, but instead they take up parking on a residential street (Lanier Place) AND break branches off of a beautiful shade tree in the process!

“The ‘fire’ was smoke at the Harris Teeter. I just talked to a store manager. The store is closed pending health department inspection. No idea when it will reopen.”
