“Dear PoPville,

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market? I haven’t seen any word if they opened as they typically do in May”

The markets & more page still has only 2021 listed and their social media for Bloomingdale hasn’t been updated either. Anyone know what’s up?

Update: OP says they now hear opening should be this Sunday!

David asks: “got any idea what this parking permit is for? Are we getting a new Wednesday afternoon farmers market?? This is across the street from the Columbia Heights Giant.”

“Dear PoPville,

There used to be a vendor selling duck in steamed Chinese buns and when I stopped by last week, he was no longer there. In addition to duck, he also offered mushrooms.

Are you familiar with this vendor?

The buns are so delicious they are to die for.”
