Thanks to Amanda for sending: “Sports Zone on 14th St in the DCUSA Complex is gone and didn’t even leave a note.”
Back in February we noted there were two Sports Zones left in D.C. Anyone know if 1551 Maryland Avenue, NE is still open?

Thanks to SinSA for sending:
“I was walking down Wisconsin Avenue earlier, and it looks like they’re making a storefront for Commander Salamander in Georgetown. I know that Wonder Woman is filming in this area, so it probably is for the movie.”
Commander Salamander was located at 1420 Wisconsin Ave, NW and is now an M&T Bank.
“Dear PoPville,
Any update on ice cream for Mount Pleasant?”
Mount Desert Island Ice Cream Artisanal small-batch ice cream thoughtfully sourced with forward-thinking flavors. In Bar Harbor & Portland, Maine, coming soon to Washington DC.
From Mount Desert Island Ice Cream via email:
“We just passed our health inspection yesterday so we just started making all the cream today. It is likely we’ll be ready to open our doors sometime the week of the 25th.”
Stay tuned for an exact opening date when we get one.
19th and Columbia Road, NW technically 1900 Wyoming Ave, NW
So they really are remodeling. Cool.
Ulta Closing in Ivy City July 14th
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea why the Ulta in Ivy City is closing? Admittedly, I’ve only shopped there a couple of times, but seemed like a great idea in a great location. Plenty of parking, well stocked, friendlyish, helpfulish staff….”

Thanks to Lila for passing on this very sad retail news:
“Beadazzled Dupont Circle closing June 23
We are very sad to be closing Beadazzled in DC. It was our first store, my baby, built with sweat equity and funded by bead sales from my home over the summer of 1989. For 29 years our amazing team has loved you, and we’ve been grateful to be loved by you. We’ve watched 10-year-old customers, and some of our teen-aged summer staffers grow up to bring their own children into Beadazzled. You’ve helped us through good times and bad, and we hope we’ve done the same for you. (more…)

Thanks to Jonathan for reports they’ll be closing in late June. Unleashed opened at 1st and M St, NE back in November 2012. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
14th and Park Road, NW
From scuttlebutt back in January to sources say yesterday to confirmed confirmed by DC USA reps. And it drives some people crazy but that’s how we do!! OK so here’s the official word from a DC USA rep: JP Morgan Chase will be taking over the old Vitamin Shoppe space right at the corner of 14th and Park and Old Navy will take over from where Vitamin Shoppe was to the present Gussini. It is not known yet who is taking the Gussini space when they move out at the end of the month.
14th between Irving and Park Road, NW
Yesterday we learned that Gussini was leaving DC USA in Columbia Heights. But all is not lost!! In addition to a JPMorgan Chase Bank coming it appears our earlier Old Navy scuttlebutt is also panning out!!
I hear that Old Navy has signed their lease in DC USA and should be taking over the unleased storefront (between Gussini and the former Children’s Place) and a significant chunk of the Children’s Place location. So JPMorgan Chase Bank should be taking over the former Vitamin store space and the balance of the Children’s Place. The bottom line is that the Old Navy will be near 14th and Park. God willing. Updates when more is known.
