“Dear PoPville,
Was wondering if you’d heard anything about the status of 354 Restaurant in the old Alero space on U Street which you wrote about back in June, Google indicates they’re still open but their status on Uber Eats says currently unavailable and it’s been dark/empty/unoccupied the last several times I walked by.

“Dear PoPville,
Just went into the 7/11 at Georgia and Taylor NW and it felt like Déjà vu – stuff missing from the shelves, no pizza, no 7/11 brand stuff, no hotdogs – felt just like how the 7/11 at 14th and Quincy felt the month before it closed. I asked the cashier if they were closing and he said yes by or before the end of the month.”
Stay tuned.
