Dr. K’s opened up back in 2010. A reader sends word that space has been emptied out:
Stay tuned to see who takes over the space. The 1500 block of U Street was previously home to numerous vintage/clothing shops but has dwindled in recent years. Fortunately you can still check out Joint Custody at 1530 U Street or Junction at 1510 U Street for your fix.

Thanks to all who sent emails about the new 7 Days Convenience Store coming to the renovated space next door to the (gotta be coming soon?) coffee/deli jam coming to the former Tibet store.

Thanks to all who sent emails and tweets. As anticipated Logan Hardware’s new 14th Street location is now open. From a press release:
“After several months of construction and anticipation, neighborhood hardware store Logan Hardware reopened yesterday at their new storefront at 1734 14th St. NW.
The doors on 14th St. opened to staff during the last week of September to begin the move-in process. The store’s manager and staff are happy to announce the store officially opened its’ doors on Thursday, October 9 despite the ongoing renovations. The Logan Hardware team is working diligently to stock the store with over 20,000 products as they finish adding the final touches to the store. “We are so lucky to have such great support from our customers and we know they are just as anxious as us to see the new store,” said manager Joe Tartaglione, affectionately known by most as “JoeT”. “We’re ready to open, but we apologize in advance for the dust as we finish unpacking.”
Logan Hardware is happy to announce the improvements customers can expect to see at the new location. The store boasts an additional 2,000 sq. feet of retail space, with an extensive list of additions including a new outdoor garden center and party supplies department. Customers can also enjoy shopping an expanded pet supplies, housewares, lawn and garden, and live goods department at the new location.
As an historical building, customers can expect to see glimmers of the past in the store’s layout. “We converted the old carriage house into our lawn and garden department, and we’ve peeled back some of the plaster to expose the original brick walls. We are glad we were able to preserve the building and restore it to its original charm,” said store owner Gina Schaefer.
The new location will celebrate the move to 14th St. with a grand opening event, slated for early November.”
