“Stopped by the CVS that’s closest to my office, typically went 2-3 times a week to grab a drink, snack, or health-related thing but haven’t in the last month – stopped by this morning and noticed that it’s closing on 12/2 and pretty much all of the perishables are gone. (more…)

Event

The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.

For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.

“Dear PoPville,

As a Friendship Heights resident, I’m very excited for Trader Joe’s (and bummed it looks like we’ll have to wait till after Thanksgiving!), and am also hoping that Total Wine brings folks to the area and helps breathe some more life into it.

But I’m concerned about the impact on my beloved Rodman’s. (more…)
