“It’s going to be another BIG firework show in DC this year! Thank you Fireworks by Grucci for making another generous donation to the @NatlParkService!”
From WMATA:
“Metro today announced service plans for July 4, 2020, including extended service at selected stations following the Salute to America fireworks display on the National Mall. While it is not known how many visitors will attend the event due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, all indications are that crowds will be much lighter than in past years. However, because the event may result in a modest increase in Metro’s ridership versus current levels, Metro will run more frequent trains and extend service beyond 9 p.m. at designated stations closest to the National Mall.

From DDOT:
“As part of Mayor Bowser’s ongoing effort to reimagine outdoor space in the District, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will temporarily close 18th Street NW between Kalorama Road NW and Columbia Road NW to all vehicular traffic during specified periods between Friday, June 26 and Sunday, June 28.
The pilot closure not only supports social distancing as the District continues its response to coronavirus (COVID-19), but also provides more recreational and social opportunities for businesses and the public. Approved restaurants and retail businesses can take advantage of expanded outdoor seating and operations to serve residents and visitors. Cyclists and pedestrians can enjoy additional space in the roadway to travel in both directions along 18th Street NW.
DDOT Traffic Control Officers will be in place throughout the area to direct all modes of traffic. The street will be closed during the timeframes below: (more…)

At the end of last month we broke the news that things were not looking good for the Post Pub. The Post’s Tim Carman breathed an ounce of hope but sadly that didn’t work out. This morning the Post Pub writes:
“I am sad to inform our customers and friends that due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors I am forced to close the Post Pub permanently. There’s simply no other option.
To all of our long time loyal customers, I can only say thank you!! More of you than I can name came in almost every day. You were the biggest part of the Post Pub family. A special thanks to the Washington Post employees who helped us pay a lot of bills over the years!
To my employees: I am sorry it ended so abruptly and that you must now look for employment elsewhere. After 43+ years in the same spot, it is hard for me to say goodbye. I am most proud of the fact that three people worked at the Pub for over 30 years and six people for over 20 years. That tells me it really was more than just a business, it was a family. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
When do you think DC will go to phase 3? My work is asking us to return during phase 3, so I am trying to plan for it.”
What have others heard about going back to the office?

Word on the street is that they may be permanently leaving the strip sometime next month. Wawa only opened up here in September. Updates when/if more is known.
Prior to Wawa this space was home to BicycleSpace, who was only here briefly, and also Slaviya for a minute and back in the day, Cities. Cities of course was awesome.

Oof. Thanks to G. for sending word that the Meggrolls signage has been removed from H Street, NE. Meggrolls only opened this past December. This is the former Red Ginger space and Shawafel before that.
