There was a time. There was a time at 14th and U circa 2007, PoPville archives.
And that time is coming back – sorta. Thanks to Michael Neibauer for passing on the wonderful news he reported in WBJ:
“Taco Bell is expected to replace the shuttered D.C. Noodles at 1410-1412 U St. NW, on the ground floor of the Louis at 14th Street apartment building, with a Taco Bell Cantina, according to plans obtained from ConstructConnect.” (more…)

Great news from ANC Rep John Bender:
“Hear ye, @TenleyANC has received a liquor license application for Trader Joe’s at 5335 Wisconsin Ave in Chevy Chase Pavilion.
TJ’s arrival comes in part from years of ANC work without which, eg, most of the pavilion might have been dentists’ office.”
I was close. Scuttlebutt confirmed!! (across the street) https://t.co/NVczqfShlh https://t.co/dcaBYH0SFA

“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I noted work being started earlier in the week, then the rumor came out that a liquor store is taking over the space that Craft Beer Cellar occupied (RIP). It’s better than being vacant, but still…”

Holy smokes. When it rains it pours and today it is pouring pure joy. I don’t have timing on this one but I’m also hearing that that prayers of Brookland have finally been answered and a Trader Joe’s is coming. I don’t know where. Maybe here? I don’t know when but I do know that my Trader Joe’s scuttlebutt accuracy is pretty damned good…
STAY TUNED.
If you missed Part One earlier, you can see it here.
