“Yet another DC bar closed for good: Billy Goat Tavern, outpost of the Chicago bar of SNL fame. It’s burgers and cheap breakfasts, and friendly bar scene, were popular with Georgetown Law students, office workers, hotel guests, and employees of nearby labor unions.”
According to yelp they’ve been closed since August.

“Dear PoPville,
As cooler weather approaches, I was wondering if people knew of some safe and legal ways to heat a front porch. Hanging out with my pod of friends outside has really helped maintain my sanity during quarantine, and I’m hoping to be able to do that as long as possible.”

Thanks to all who passed on this awful coronaville massacre news (will close “for the foreseeable future on Halloween“) from the Washington CityPaper:
“Eric and Ian Hilton say they fought for six months to keep American Ice Company, The Brixton, Echo Park, El Rey, The Gibson, Marvin, and Players Club running through the COVID-19 pandemic, but ultimately couldn’t.”
Out of the seven which hurts the most?
