Thanks to Lauren for sending from the 14W apartment building “The management sent it out to residents to notify them of construction hours/noise. Super exciting news! Lolita’s is amazing. This will be an awesome addition.”:
“14&W has been leased by a company out of Boston. They are opening their first restaurant in DC, Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar restaurant.”
Back in December we reported that a new restaurant from Boston’s COJE management group was coming to the old Kapnos space. Check out some of their Boston menus here and stay tuned for an opening date.
“Dear PoPville,
This guy just caught an opportunity to steal a brand new Breast Pump. Neighbors should be on the lookout as you can see the box was unmarked so the contents were not clear either. Pretty disappointing and hopefully this is a one off and not going to be a new normal.”
Join Mindful Movement DC this Memorial Day Weekend for a 3 night yoga retreat to rebalance strength & softness in our lives! During this weekend in the woods, we will create a sacred space to nourish and embrace our whole selves through yoga, meditation, journaling, time in nature, and community building.

From an email:
“Starting February 9, 2020, local artists will be descending into what was once an underground city street car station to launch a new Sunday arts market.
It’s worth noting that the Dupont Underground space is up for lease renewal. It’s at a pivotal moment where the city could decide to reclaim the space and sell to developers. The arts community is passionate about conserving the space as a sanctuary for local culture and for events like this new Sunday market.”

“Dear PoPville,
There is a dog being kept in a van on the Unit block of Bryant Street, NE. Cops and animal control responded but because Dog has food and water and “shelter” they won’t do anything. Dog is howling up a storm. Does the community have more ideas to help the pup?”
Update: “The neighbors tried calling around to the area home depots to determine ownership to no avail. The van was moved by 7 am. Unknown on the status of the dog that was being kept inside”
