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.

Thanks to Amanda for sending: “Signs up for moving sale. The good news is that there is definite construction happening in the old children’s place and staples space.”
Hmm, Gussini only opened up in the part of the old Staples space last year. Previously we had heard that an Old Navy could be coming to DC USA. More recently I’ve heard a Gap, Gap Kids and/or a Michael’s crafting store. I still haven’t completely given up hope on those options but the space below under construction must be the JPMorgan Chase Bank?

“Dear PoPville,
Any word on what happened to Tunnel Liquor near 4th and Mass? Interesting that someone in the neighborhood said the owner was remodeling, but someone else said the liquor license was not renewed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Anyone know the details? They opened back in 2007. Facebook says permanently closed. For those who live nearby, where do you get your beer/wine/liquor?
