Scuttlebutt: Liquor Store at 11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW moving to 7th Street – Coffee Shop Coming?

By Prince Of Petworth


11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW

Thanks to a tipster for sharing:

“Scuttlebutt: Liquor store on corner moving to 7th St. NW b/c rent is too high (14K). Last day is July 31st. Owner apparently looking to bring a coffee shop in.”

STAY TUNED.

Ed. Note: One of my favorite headlines from back in 2011 Liquor Store at 11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW Becoming a Liquor Store.

How much for the blue one?

1735 Connecticut Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

There’s a new “business” at 1735 Connecticut Ave NW that seems like an obvious front. My first thought was the latest Dave Eggers reading room, but apparently not. The Googles connect this address to a very odd website (unither.com). My best guess is some sort of “escape the room”, or a new speakeasy. Any insights?” (more…)

“Sephora coming to 14th Street in The Liz”

Thanks to Sarah for sending:

“I was walking by the Liz this morning (the property is on the site of the old Whitman-Walker Health–it is still owned by WWH but has been redeveloped into luxury condos slated to open this summer) and saw this — 14th and R is getting a Sephora!” (more…)

Olde City Farm & Garden: “It has been a pleasure to have been part of the Shaw community. We are working to find a new space”

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to Kelley for passing on. This will be their second move. Before the 925 Rhode Island Ave NW, Olde City was located at 9th and N Street, NW (where Espita Mezcaleria is today.) The Rhode Island Ave location is where the new Banneker High School will be located. Updates when they find a new space.
