Any idea what happened here at Pan Am Market? At the corner of Brown and Newton in Mt Pleasant the corner store seemed to be abandoned for a few months but now looks completely empty. There’s also a vacant sign. (more…)

Thanks to Corinne for passing on the GoFundMe for Gedera Market:
“Hi my name is wendim I am fundraising for Ethiopian family who has these business for a long time and on July 4th their business caught on fire by fireworks thrown by unknown persons and now they lost all their asset and goodwill they have been working with. So I am asking anyone can do what ever you can to support and rebuild their business back..”

“Dear PoPville,
I ran into the owners and they told me they are NOT closed! They have a gas connection issue and are waiting on the landlord to fix it. I think the landlord is pushing back saying they are not going to fix it so they have closed indefinitely. Can we please help them?? They are a Korean couple who don’t speak the best English. Let’s get them open again!! Maybe a legally-minded reader could help!”

421 East Capitol Street, SE
Martin sends the sad news:
“Congress Market, my favorite neighborhood bodega, is closing its doors. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve popped in here over the nearly ten years I’ve lived on Capitol Hill, and I guarantee you I turn the corner of 5th and East Capitol and try and pop in again out of habit at least a few more times. What a loss.”

Thanks to Cassidy for sending: “For June I wanted to share my favorite pride flag at the Argyle Market in Mount Pleasant. I appreciate whoever put up the air freshener rainbow, it cracks me up and I love it. It’s up there all year round.”
