Thanks to Jay for sending another addition to businesses that are boarding up their windows.
Has anybody seen others besides Sephora (multiple), J.Crew (14th Street) and Loro Piana (City Center)?

Not that my brain can focus for more than three seconds these days but for those who are more disciplined than I, this is great! Capitol Hill Books tweeted the other day:
“So. The deal is like this: tell us how much you want to spend. What authors/genres you like, and we’ll send you our picks and a price. Email [email protected]”
Yesterday we were surprised to see the Sephora boarded up in Eatern Market. Sephora has also boarded up stores in Georgetown and Logan Circle and readers have told me at least two other locations were boarded up in Chicago and Brooklyn.
Thanks to Lisa for sending the first photo above of Loro Piana boarded up in City Center. And thanks to all who sent word about J. Crew getting boarded up in Logan Circle.

Yikes. Thanks to Brett for sending: “they are literally boarding up Sephora in Eastern Market as if a hurricane is coming.”
Loosens collar. (more…)
Thanks to Leo for sending last night: “MPD guarding a delivery of supplies to CVS in Upper NW DC. At least three cops – sad reflection on how people are behaving. Looked like some prescription medications but mostly your standard CVS supplies from Motrin to soap to razors. People were patiently and politely waiting for the supplies to be unloaded/stocked, but I heard the delivery guy telling the cops that last time, people were grabbing goods straight from the truck.”
Thanks to Alison for sending earlier this morning from Target: “currently cacooning the cafe area in plastic wrap.”
But in happier news: (more…)
Thanks to Katherine for sending the news that Paper Source will also be taking over the old Papyrus space in Union Station. Yesterday we learned about the Metro Center takeover and in January we learned they were also coming to Logan Circle. Stay tuned.

Thanks to Hillary (and others) for sending:
“Signage up at the old Papyrus on F Street for a Paper Source – coming soon.”
Ed. Note: A Paper Source is also coming to Logan Circle.

Thanks to Noah and Walter for sending from CNN:
“Modell’s Sporting Goods filed for bankruptcy Wednesday and will close all of its 153 stores in the northeast.”
On Tuesday we reported that the one in Hechinger mall would be closing but this means that the one in Columbia Heights’ DC USA will also be closing. Updates when we learn what becomes of the spaces.

Well if we’re going down, we might as well go down in a beautiful blaze of glory!!
Thanks to Jessica for sending: “There’s redskins cheerleaders, WPGC and a mariachi band at 7-Eleven opening on K Street.” (more…)
