Helluva run, helluva run indeed. Yesterday we broke the news that the famed Pop Up Bars of 7th Street were likely finished since all their equipment had gone up for auction. This morning Washingtonian confirms the news:
“The bar officially closed on Dec. 31 and will not be replaced by a permanent drinking destination.”
So of all the pop ups that came and went, for those that went, which was your favorite? I liked the Cherry Blossom ones.

Granted this a rather random one but I’ll walk you to how I got here. So I was thinking of titling chapter nine of my coming memoirs: ‘Emails I get from AOL accounts’ Ed. Note that is still the tentative title. And it got me thinking about email in general and communication preferences. So there we are.
