I wonder if they’ll sell any fruit or other sundries from Whole Foods?
STAY TUNED.

Good news for the crafty out there. The former home to Olivia’s Diner, G Street Food and Jonathan’s Gourmet is set to become an “Arts Supplies Store”:
STAY TUNED.
4304 Connecticut Ave NW via parklane dry cleaners
“Dear PoPville,
Parklane Dry Cleaners said they lost their lease and were completely closing by 7pm on Monday. The woman was very nice on the phone but explained that, if I wanted my items, I needed to pick up everything before 7pm on Monday. They are a great dry cleaners and the employees are so nice. It breaks my heart that they have to close. Even after I moved to Columbia Heights, and then U Street (and even after giving up my car), I would only go to Parklane for dry cleaning. I dropped off suits about a week ago. If anyone else is a customer, they also need to pick up their items by 7pm today!”
Ed. Note: I called to confirm, 7pm is last chance to pick up clothes. Also they are incredibly nice folks. Very sad indeed.

Thanks to Payton for sending word from District Hardware & Bike:
“It’s been a great 10 years in Foggy Bottom but it’s time for us to bring a new concept to a new space. But we can’t bring everything! Save 50% on every hardware item with a red, plus big discounts on bikes and accessories. Hurry! We close Sept 15th.

From a press release:
“A new brick and mortar store, stocked exclusively with DC brands alongside a café serving a rotating roster of locally made fast-casual food, coffee, and beer on tap, will open in Golden Triangle, just south of Dupont Circle, this October. The store is a collaborative retail extension of the Made in DC program, and will create a unique space to shop, eat, and drink exclusively DC-made brands and products for the first time. Located at 1333 19th Street NW, the 2,500-square-foot storefront, aptly named Shop Made in DC, is made possible through a partnership with the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD), Golden Triangle Business Improvement District (BID), Boston Properties, People Make Place and Neighborhood Restaurant Group (NRG).

Hana Japanese Market opened up at 17th and U Street, NW back in 2008. It is hands down one of the greatest shops in the District of Columbia.
Hana posted these gut wrenching words on their Facebook page yesterday:
“Hana Market is closed. We plan to reopen ASAP. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience.”
A reader reports:
“My friend who works in a Japanese broadcasting company said they’re only closed for two weeks.”

While we’re waiting for the permanent Union Station location, looks like we’re getting closer to the Penn Quarter pop up in the former American Apparel space on F Street. Thanks to Jeremy for sending a shot of the new signage yesterday.
