I was walking past it two days ago and saw the cardboard was ripped through the window so I took a peek and (more…)

When that sun picture went up at the old &pizza (et al) space last December we wondered ‘What’s Coming Here: Weed Store or Tanning Salon? Something else? Perhaps another go at pizza…’ – commenters speculated that it was CAVA signage. AND they were right! Last night a worker at the currently still open Cava tells me that a temporary closure is coming soon to allow them to expand into the space. They say they haven’t been told exactly when the closure will be but it will be soon AND it will be for six months or so!

“Dear PoPville,
The Maryland Condominium wanted to give a shoutout to City Wildlife’s April Linton and Autumn Autumn Klinge for their help in safely securing a nesting duck and her family.
About a month ago, we discovered a mallard had laid her eggs in one of our rooftop’s gardens. Upon discovery, we were recommended to CW, who IMMEDIATELY came over and built an enclosure around the nest. One month later, and just in time for Mother’s Day, the babies hatched. (more…)
