Georgia and New Hampshire Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I want to know the reasoning for putting jersey barriers on Georgia thus blocking accessible parking for the CVS. I don’t want to have to cross Georgia Avenue and I would not want to see other seniors taking their lives in their hands having to park across the street from CVS. There has not been a line down the street, the same so-called argument used by DDOT to block parking at the Safeway on Georgia and Randolph. There was no hearing that I am aware of and no public comment period. Now I hear they want to close streets to allow restaurants to shut down public space for social distancing. It seems as if when it comes to the average citizen, with DDOT you have no rights.”

18th Street, NW looking towards Columbia Road
From a press release:
“Earlier this month, community leaders announced the creation of the Adams Morgan Commercial Development Coalition (AMCDC), an organization focused on the reimagination and the livability of the Adams Morgan commercial core as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The AMCDC – consisting of neighborhood residents, commercial and mixed-use property owners and Adams Morgan business owners and employees – urges District of Columbia leaders to take bold action by empowering the Adams Morgan community to reinvent 18th Street. The AMCDC envisions a roadway used for additional outdoor spaces for pedestrian activity, neighborhood retailers and food and beverage establishments. (more…)
Bagels Etc. at 2122 P Street, NW
Now more than ever.
Will with the very important heads up last night:
“As a heads up to anyone in the DuPont area–P Street Bagels is still open and seems like they could use some help. One of the owners said sales way down (as you can imagine). (more…)
1443 P Street, NW (from happier times before the closures, obviously)
From an email:
“Commissary, the casual American concept from EatWell DC, re-opens for takeout and delivery on Wednesday, May 20th at 1443P St NW. The restaurant has been closed for the past 2 months and has undergone a top to bottom cleaning and menu evolution. The casual all-day spot has retailored the menu to better serve the take-out and delivery market while retaining all the fan favorites.
“We waited until we had a better understanding of the situation and could formulate a plan of safety for our team and our guests. We have great people who want to get back to work and providing that opportunity, carefully, has been a goal since we closed. It is important for us to be your neighborhood “go to”. We wanted to be there for the community, but our team’s health and safety had to come first. Now that we have a safe plan, we felt it was time to reemerge” says principal owner David Winer
Chef Tom Crenshaw has been brainstorming for weeks and the new breakfast and lunch menu offers more sandwich options like Pastrami and Grill Vegetables as well as breakfast sandwiches like Panini and Fried Chicken with eggs while still offering classics like Blueberry Pancakes and Patty melts. Bullfrog Bagels and La Colombe coffee are also still available for take-out and Delivery. Dinner options will preserve the beloved Herb Roasted Chicken, Crispy Skin Salmon and Fish & Chips while adding what’s sure be a new fav, Hot Chicken and family style meals (for 4) that have options for Salads, Entrees, Sides and Desserts at a super reasonable neighborhood price. You can look forward to pop up specials from our Eatwell DC sister restaurants as well.
Cocktails, including Frose, Bloodies and Mimosas (by glass & pitcher), Beer, Wine (bottles and cans) will be offered (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been walking around the track for the past two months without issue, but yesterday when I went over there a security guard yelled at me that the park was closed. I’ve been at the Park with a security guard before, but they only yelled at people who were hanging out–anyone who was moving was allowed to stay. I thought that the parks were open for recreation purposes, so I was very confused when the security guard yelled at us.”
1517 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Oh no!!! Thanks to all who messaged us the Washington Business Journal article by Alex Koma:
“It’s official: Kramerbooks owner Steve Salis says he’s ready to move the hybrid bookshop-cafe out of its Dupont Circle home.
He doesn’t have a new location to announce yet, but this would mark the end of Kramer’s 44-year run in the neighborhood.”
STAY TUNED.
Thanks to Sauce City for sharing this excellence:
“I stopped a theft (Tags off a vehicle (attempted) And otherwise trying to grab what else he could) and neighbors shows gratitude with cherry blossom beer.”
A just reward for sure!!
