From a press release:

“WHERE 1331 4th St. SE, Suite 108

WHEN October 7th through December 31st

Friday through Sunday
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily

Steadfast Supply, a weekend retail market celebrating DC-area makers and creatives, is excited to open in The Yards neighborhood on October 7th with retail running through the end of 2016. The market is the creation of Virginia Arrisueño, founder of DeNada and curator of the DC MEET Market and Parcel Market, and the uniquely industrial and interactive space is designed by Nathan Hill of Nh.d Studio. The concept space is housed in a 4,000 square feet space inside Arris (at the corner of 4th and Water Street), a revelation for DC apartment living located at The Yards. The space will offer unique retail brands and creative organizations (from DC and beyond) an exclusive opportunity to be a part of the growing Yards neighborhood, inspiring them to thrive, grow their businesses, and make Washington, DC their own. In turn, the space will play an active role in connecting Washingtonians with local creative minds helping build community and meaningful relationships. (more…)

A reader reports:

“I was walking on my way home this evening and was shocked to see the building had been emptied out at 1627 Conn Ave. I think it’s the last independent stores to close on that block?”

Oh dang, I loved this place! I called Mr. Taylor who said he closed last week but will still be selling his photographs at festivals and on his website.

A reader reports:

“I was just up at Friendship Heights this morning, and noticed that I was able to take the elevator down to an unlocked but completely empty Michaels. Construction work looks just about finished, and there were signs on the doors advertising that they’re hiring. So, I’m guessing
the grand opening is relatively soon, though, as I said, the space is completely empty at present.”
