Thanks to all who passed on the wild news from Eater DC about the future of the Line Hotel in Adams Morgan:
“Elon Musk is slated to be the highest bidder on D.C.’s trendy Line hotel. The recently inducted member of President-elect Donald Trump’s billionaire boys club plans to turn the desirable Northwest digs with 220 rooms into a “private social club” of sorts, according to multiple sources familiar with the deal.”
Well then – stay tuned…

Brian asks: “7-11 at 14th and Columbia closed?”
Calls to the store go to voicemail. Their website is still active. Anyone know if they’re still open or not?

“Dear PoPville,
Earlier this week Bourbon Coffee on L St NW near 21st had this sign posted saying closed until further notice, but today that sign is gone and there are chairs stacked inside the entrance. Any word on what’s happening and when it may re-open, if at all? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I have on a very good source that the Eagle bar is returning on Jan 22nd. My source tells me they will be at 1357 U Street NW.
My guess is it’s different owners than the folks who had the DC Eagle up to 2020 (which was in NE)… looking this up led me down an interesting rabbit hole on the ownership structure and relationship between the Eagle bars in different cities (apparently there is none!)
Anyway, fun news about another gay bar!”
