3508 Connecticut Ave, NW is another one of those properties that just can’t seem to hold a tenant. I just noticed the Sprint Phone Store has closed in the former Cacao Cafe space which was formerly Cold Stone Creamery. It’s a prime location so it’ll be interesting to see who takes the next crack at it. I vote for bringing back Yanni’s – a kickstarter I would happily contribute too!

914 H Street, NE

A new liquor store is coming to the former liquor store at 9th and H St, NE. We once noted the old school liquor sign that was registered back in 1962. I hope the new folks are able to restore the old school sign. The liquor license placard says the licensee is Andy Lee Liquor:

“New Liquor Store with tasting.”

And hours are listed as Sunday through Saturday 9 am – 10 pm.

A friend of mine wonders – “will there be bullet proof glass or not?”

“I don’t know if everyone already knows the plans for the spaces on 14th street immediately adjacent (to the north) of G Sandwich, but I was walking by this weekend and spotted the following architect plans in the window of one of the stores.

A little hard to read with the glare, but one says “hair salon” and the other “cleaners”.
