14th and W Street, NW just prior to opening back in 2016
Thanks to Joe for sending word about Eighteen Eight closing:
“what alerted me was a sign saying – For so and sos clients call 202 etc”
Were there any fans of this spot? Anyone know the details?
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?

From a press release:
“Target is announcing plans to open a new small-format store in Washington, D.C., located at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Eastern Avenue in the Shepherd Park neighborhood of Northwest D.C.

It will join existing locations in College Park, Rosslyn, Bethesda and Falls Church Tinner Hill, as well as future stores in Cleveland Park (2019), Northeast D.C. on New York Ave (2020) and Ballston, Va.

Thanks to a reader for sending: “Chase is opening a branch in Columbia Heights. Perhaps the vacant Vitamin Shoppe store?”
The Washington Post story says:
“Seven of the 70 planned branches have already received regulatory approval. They include sites in the District’s Columbia Heights, Logan Circle and Georgetown neighborhoods, one branch near McPherson Square Metro station, one in the District’s Ward 7 east of the Anacostia River, one in Bethesda and two in Arlington.”
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. Stay Tuned. And since we’re talking about Columbia Heights retail yadda yadda yadda Wawa!!
