Trendy D.C. plant and flower shop Rewild has opened a December weekend pop-up in Georgetown.

The pop-up is at the patio of Market House, the former Dean & Deluca store at 3276 M St. NW. It is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 20, selling wreaths, garland, poinsettias and other holiday merchandise.

The Georgetown Dean & Deluca closed last year after 25 years.

There is also a holiday art installation and holiday photo opportunity organized by Design Foundry, and a mailbox for kids to drop off letters to Santa.

Rewild, with retail stores in D.C.’s Shaw, which opened in 2018, and at Georgetown Park, which opened last year, is also offering virtual workshops, including wreath making classes.

Georgetown’s Shop Small Georgetown, including dozens of restaurant and retailers offering discounts and promotions, runs through Dec 12.

The Georgetown BID is also running a monthlong holiday window and restaurant streatery contest, which lets shoppers and diners vote for the best storefront holiday decorations and most festive outdoor dining areas.

The former Dean & Deluca building was going to be a D.C. outpost for funky New York artist coop store Artists & Fleas. Those plans were derailed by the pandemic.

Opening arguments set to begin in Meta’s federal trial over child harms

Oakland, Calif. (AP) — Opening arguments are set to kick off Tuesday in a pivotal trial for Meta Platforms in a California federal court. Attorneys general from California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey are seeking extensive financial damages plus changes to how the company operates Facebook and Instagram. Twenty-nine states sued the tech giant in 2023 over child safety and privacy — the other 25 will go to trial later. The company also faces lawsuits in state courts. The lawsuit accuses the social media giant of contributing to the youth mental health crisis by knowingly and deliberately designing features that get children addicted to its platforms. It also argues that Meta routinely collects data on children under 13 without their parents’ consent, in violation of federal law. “This week, we’re in court with the largest consumer protection lawsuit in American history. We’ll show a jury that Meta concealed what it knew about the harm its products cause young people because looking away was more profitable,” said Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman in a statement.
