Whoa this is crazy. Thanks to Courtney for sending Trio’s Last Hurrah – Sunday November 2nd:
“Dear Valued Customers and Neighbors,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of our restaurant after 75 incredible years of serving this community. Unfortunately, we were unable to extend our lease and must close our doors for good. Our last day of service will be November 2. (more…)

Anyone remember riding those little golf cart like shuttles to games. They were THE BEST!

Last week we shared the news that Logan Tavern was Still Closed. “Temporarily” or Temporarily?

Thanks to Fred for sending: “Taken this morning about 9 a.m., Logan Tavern stuff (tables and chairs, open wine bottles, what looked like some kitchen gear) being loaded into a U-Haul parked out front.”
Looking more and more like this is the end.
Thanks to Rich for sending a look inside: (more…)

From a press release:
“At a private celebration last month, CulturalDC’s Board of Directors announced that the organization would sunset operations after more than 27 years of transforming the District’s arts and culture scene. This decision follows the sale of the historic Source building in August 2025, which CulturalDC originally purchased in October 2006 to preserve and redevelop as a multi-use performing arts space. The sale marked a significant milestone in the organization’s journey to reimagine how it invests in artists and the future of DC’s creative community.

closing notice up in Adams Morgan at 1801 Columbia Road, NW
Thanks to all who wrote in:
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to pass on to you that the Starbucks in Adams Morgan is closing as of Sunday. It’s a giant loss for the neighborhood – while it’s true that there’s no shortage of coffee shops in Adams Morgan, the staff that works there is truly fantastic. And worst of all, the partners only learned the news yesterday (and from a customer no less) that the store would be shuttered and their jobs are gone by the end of the week. We asked if they’d be moved to a different location, and they said they weren’t sure – but as the stores at 16th & U and Howard (!) are also both closing, they’re not optimistic. (more…)

Thank you for being with us for 17 years. (more…)
