“Dear PoPville,
I’m in Adam’s Morgan and my fiancé and I were crushed when Pleasant Pops closed its doors. But today we noticed some potential good news. Just across the street from the prior location, it appears a shop is being put together. The best part? We could see a Pleasant Pops sign inside when we briefly peaked in the window!”

Thanks to Audrey for sending: “I got this little tree from Ace Hardware the week of Thanksgiving and kept it up until today because it wasn’t losing needles. I kinda felt bad taking it down when it was still going strong, but my husband (logically) reminded me that it’s March.” (more…)
