7-11 fatigue continues – from a change.org petition:
“Stay Away from 14th St / Florida Ave! [in the Solea building]
We are a community, we are a neighborhood, we are families and friends. We care about how our neighbors treat each other, how the streetscape is maintained and we care to improve our surroundings.
We are happily satisfied with the neighborhood retail services today such as: Streets, Smucker Farms, Yes Organic, CVS and TraderJoes, yet we are very concerned about 7/11 entering our neighborhood. We believe that 7/11 will diminish and detract from our neighborhood, nor do we see it adding any value to our lives. We feel that, at best, 7/11 will just cannibalize existing businesses, assuming anyone was to patronize the establishment. Therefore, this location is not only unsatisfactory to the neighbors, but it is also a bad investment for 7/11. A bad investment for 7/11 is also a bad bet for the landlord jeopardizing their investment too. No one wins in this scenario.
If you care about the future of our neighborhood and don’t want to see a 7/11, or worse, a failed 7/11 take up a prominent corner, then please object by endorsing this petition.”

A reader reports:
“Just went to the Books-a-Million in Dupont and everything is discounted, all sales are final, and the salespeople confirmed that July 18 would be their last day. I always hate to see a bookstore close, but if it had to be one I’m glad it wasn’t Kramerbooks.”

Apparently people like vaping. New vape lounges seem to be opening up all over the place. I’ve now seen them in Adams Morgan, H Street NE, Petworth, and Georgetown. Any others?
Out of curiosity do any readers vape?

A lot of folks were hoping this wasn’t true but there’s no denying it any longer:
