Dear PoPville,

I was walking my dog in the park and passed by the front of the building and the flyer hanging on the front door caught my eye. Simply said ‘lo siento’ and that they moved to 1050 30th St NW. Their website lists the same new address for contact purposes. I live a block away, I guess I just completely missed the moving trucks. Property tax records show the Ecuadorian government still owns the building, so with no for sale sign out front I am just straight up bewildered as to what is going on. And does this mean that the naming rights for Ecuador Alley are up for grabs??

The Ecuadorian Embassy was previously located at 2535 15th Street, NW.
