“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard any buzz about plans for a new gym in Petworth/Mount P/Columbia Heights? Washington Sports Club in the Target building is a mess…. mismanaged, overpriced, oversold– but with a prime location and no competition north of U Street. It would be fantastic to have an independent gym in the area, but even another chain option would be an improvement.”
Unfortunately the sign above is the closest I’ve seen to a new gym coming to Petworth. It makes me weep to think we almost had one at 3910 Georgia Ave, NW. Back in Oct. ’10 there was some scuttlebutt that a small gym was looking into the space above Meridian Pint at 11th and Park Rd, NW but nothing ever came of that. To be honest it seems like a real business opportunity. I know we also pine for a movie theater and a book store but I realize those would probably have a tough time being profitable. But I honestly think a new gym in the Petworth/Columbia Heights/Mt. Pleasant area would make a killing. I’m hopeful one day an investor with an ounce of vision will realize this…
In the meantime we spoke about some reasonably priced gyms around town here.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
