From an email:
“Fantom fans and friends, we are very excited to announce that Fantom Comics is MOVING!
Thanks to all your amazing support over the years, we have grown so big we need a new space to contain all of our AWESOME! We can’t tell you how excited we are for this move. Starting July 23rd, 2014, you can find Fantom Comics at 2010 P Street NW, just a block and a half off Dupont Circle.
And with our new space being three times larger, we plan to do many more events in the future! Fantom Comics is moving on up – up the red line, up to the penthouse (well, the top floor of a 2-story building, anyway) – and we need the space for that to happen.
Please help us spread the word over these next two months! And thank you to all of our amazing customers and supporters who have made our move and expansion possible. Fantom Comics is so proud to have such a brilliant family of fans and friends who make up the best of Washington DC’s comic book scene!”

Good thing Cork Market added another weekend for the Bullfrog Bagels and Bialys pop up. Anyone get a taste?
A friend mine with very good bagel/bialy bona fides says:
“These are the real deal! Ate a bialy fresh from the oven. Better than Kossars.”

“.@Lowes finally has their permit (B1308494) to start construction of first DC store at Ft Lincoln next to Costco.”
With the choice of Lowes vs. Home Depot – which do you prefer?

Crumbs opened up in the former Schakolad chocolate shop back in Jan. 2012. A call to their 11th and F St location confirms that the 19th Street store is permanently closed. Thanks to a reader for sending word.

Back in early April we learned a World Market was coming to Chinatown’s Bed Bath & Beyond. They’re now open and I highly recommend these Dutch cookies:

A couple weeks ago a reader sent in some old marketing materials for a planned Ledo Pizza at 12th and Otis St, NE in Brookland. Turned out that deal had fallen through but on the Brookland listserv this morning:
“Dear Neighbors: Yesterday I was told to check out the sign at 12th and Otis at the old auto repair site. So I did and I see a “Coming Soon” sign proclaims a Seven Eleven franchise is slated for that location.”
Suffice it to say an intense debate followed on the merits of a 7-Eleven for that location.

“Dear PoPville,
Q West 2, located next to the buildings that collapsed a couple of weeks ago in Mt. Vernon, has re-opened for business. They had just opened the new location a few weeks before the accident and were starting to build the client base there. Obviously, the accident has set them back a bit. I’m sure they’d appreciate if you could help spread the word.”
I felt so bad for them when I first saw the photos – def. show them some love if you live or work nearby.
