Two things I never joke about: Avocados and Trader Joe’s so you know I’m serious…
Thanks to Seth for the exclusive:
“the forthcoming Trader Joe’s in Brookland has Avocados. It’s the first food we’ve seen and bodes well for the estimated mid may opening.”
Stay tuned for a confirmed opening date, well I guess it can take avocados a while to ripen, anyway – STAY TUNED.

The first annual Consortium art show
For one weekend in September, a private mansion in Upper Georgetown becomes the most beautiful room in Washington. Work by women artists, hung salon-style the way Paris did it a century ago: floor to ceiling, frame to frame, every wall alive. Sculpture on the mantels. Paintings up the staircase. Art where art is meant to live, in a home, among people, with a glass in your hand.

And speaking of spring cleaning:
“Dear PoPville,
I searched the site for landscape vendors and got a few names though the recs were from 2012, Can you post a request for recs? I’ve got a yard that needs regular grass cut and occasional yard clean up. The home is on a corner lot in Petworth.”

A very reasonable request from one of my all time favorite spots – Moreland’s Tavern:
“Made it through the pandemic. Trying to make it through I-82 and the crazy labor cost increases. Now construction has pretty much closed our doors since November. It’s tough out here, support Small Business.”
This place is such a gem, it’s something that every single neighborhood wants – comfortable, good food, good drinks and the BEST hospitality – please help them get through this tough time with all the construction out front. It’s still lovely inside!!
