Where once they had roamed free–like the mighty herds of bison–and then were brought near to extinction, a new head shop arrived in Georgetown.

Head shops are essentially shops to sell everything you need to smoke marijuana, save for the drug itself. They sell pipe and bongs, of course, but all the other accouterments that come from a pot positive lifestyle, like vaguely “ethnic” sculptures, velvet print posters, and lots and lots of incense.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• 3030 M St. (where Cusp is) changes hands (also, apparently the lease for Cusp expires early next year and it sounds like the new owner expects to fill the space with a new tenant.)

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• To be fair: The Union Station to Georgetown Circulator does technically end in Glover Park, but only just.
• Josh Hermias, who was once the Economic Development head of the BID, just left the job he had after that: head chef at Minibar. Open a restaurant in Georgetown Josh!
