“Dear PoPville,
I received a call from a “No Caller ID” number today. The voicemail (see transcript below) claimed to be Nathaniel Porter of the Metropolitan Police Department trying to reach me about an urgent matter. (more…)
Thanks to Jay for sending: “Another new bike share between the pool at the Tennis Courts at Banneker!” (more…)
The buzz about Union Station is for real… [ICYMI: “a new wave of food and beverage and retail tenants coming to Washington Union Station.”] First the Continental Club and now thanks to Ian for sharing the status of the Capo Deli coming to Union Station: “Gotta be real close now.”
Stay tuned for an exact opening date.
Ed. Note: This space was previously home to a Potbelly. Potbelly had opened in Union Station back in January 2011.
