“I have received the following from MRP, the company that manages the bike lobby linking the MBT to Florida Avenue, and pass it along.

Ed. Note: When Shake Shake first opened in Union Station back in 2014 it was an EVENT. Goodness. There was a time…
“Dear PoPville,
The shake shack moved, literally overnight, to a new spot in Union Station. They gave up the two level restaurant for a much smaller storefront, just around the corner on the ground floor of Union station. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
