end of an era

“After 27 years of making space for art in Washington, DC, CulturalDC has concluded operations and announced a series of legacy investments to carry the mission forward.”

By Prince Of Petworth

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.

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…)
