Is the address really “950″? I walked by there the other day and it seemed to be opening in the old 930 club building, the Atlantic building, which is of course at 930 F Street. So strange to have a J Crew there…
Yup…it’s the Atlantic Building.
Not that there’s much chance I’d shop in a J Crew…but the idea of buying overpriced jeans in the same location that I once saw Man or Astroman! just makes me want to puke.
You must have a very weak stomach.
I was wondering the same thing when I walked by the place. It was definitely the old Atlantic Building on 930F Street. Just curious how they can go about changing the street address.
For what it’s worth the Atlantic Building was demolished except for the facade and the lot it occupied was combined with probably two or three other lots so, while I miss the 9:30 Club days I can take some comfort in knowing that the physical space we knew as the club is completely gone and will not be the stomping ground of docksiders and chinos.
You people are impossible to parody.
this is the seventh sign of the apocalypse! 930 Club turned J Crew.
When Roy Rogers became Restoration Hardware — also a reckoning.
Fantastic! What a great store – glad to have it near by.
lotta competition in the men’s retail space. J. Crew’s a minor threat compared to some of the other players.
Yeah, I saw Minor Threat open for Dismemberment Plan at the old 930 Club as well. Good times.
uh, Minor Threat broke up in 1983, dismemberment plan didn’t form until the 90s.
Yeah… but after concerts in the old 9:30, who can really remember who they heard or what it sounded like (my ears would often ring for days). :- )
while I personally don’t shop at J Crew, I think it’s great that retail like this is moving in to the city solely because there’s not enough clothing retail downtown (H&M and Forever 21 are total shit, sorry). I don’t WANT to have to go to a Mall or Virginia. I’d like to shop in DC and if there’s a good concentration around Metro Center station, I think a lot of weekend foot traffic would start.
It is good to have more locations in the city, but there’s been a J Crew in the city for several years.
There’s two that I can think of: Georgetown and Friendship Heights. But it’s good that there’s one more centrally located. J.Crew is great for work clothes.
