“Dear PoPville,
Just walked by and the Maman Joon signage in Columbia Heights is gone already – please tell me they haven’t reconsidered?!!?”
They have not, thank the Gods. There was simply a defect with the sign installation (was collecting water) and it’s getting fixed. Stay tuned for an opening date!
