Federal Government

From an email:

“The Capital Area Food Bank is holding pop-up food distributions for former federal workers and contractors affected by the recent reductions. Starting tomorrow, these distributions will be held twice a week through June: Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., or while supplies last each day. (more…)


Dupont Circle


Connecticut and R Street, NW

Thanks to Martin for sending:

“So I just walked by the (former) Dupont 7-11 and noticed there was no longer a sign on the door and it appeared to be open. Walked in to find half the store cleared out, but a single guy sitting behind the counter staring at his phone. He said 7-11 is gone but they are going to re-open as an independent bodega-type store.

Stay tuned.
