D’Vines opened up back in April 2008 across from DC USA in Columbia Heights. They’ve recently applied for a liquor license for a Retailer’s Class “A” Liquor Store license so they’ll be able to sell liquor in addition to beer and wine.
15th and Pennsylvania Ave, SE
Speaking of liquor stores, a reader gives props to World Wine and Spirits:
My corner, at 15th and Penn S.E., is undergoing a fair amount of change, and the longtime liquor store on the corner there, World Liquor, is renovating and re-making itself … with hopes of becoming a destination for craft beers, etc. The bulletproof glass is down. The store is renovated inside and is now going by “World Wine and Spirits.” Richard Lee, the owner, has reached out to neighbors, asking for their recommendation on what he should stock, etc. I believe he also plans to do tastings.
I was personally pleased to walk in there today and see a beer from my hometown, Kansas City … Boulevard, which I didn’t think was available on the East Coast. Richard is also now carrying Lagunitas, Great Lakes, etc.
I stopped by as well and the place looks great. They even have a good Sake selection.

Almost a year ago we learned that Ritz Camera was downsizing from their corner location at 18th and L St, NW to a smaller space at 1742 L St, NW. I noticed a few weeks ago that the Ritz had closed the smaller location too.
Thanks to all who sent word about the zoning hearing placard posted at DC USA. Back in Nov. ’12 we learned that a Petco was coming to DC USA. Looks like it’ll be at the corner of Hiatt and Irving St, NW underneath the new DSW.

In 2011 Nana moved from U Street to Mt. Pleasant. Nana’s owner Jackie Flanagan shares some bittersweet news:
After 10 years as a brick and mortar clothing store in D.C., Jackie Flanagan is making changes to her business model for 2013. Flanagan will continue to design the Nana Clothing line produced here in D.C. and host numerous sales events but will close the brick and mortar store in Mount Pleasant.
“This is an extremely personal decision for me — one based on my desire to spend more time on my favorite aspects of the Nana business: designing the Nana line and planning fabulous shopping events! It is bittersweet to leave the brick & mortar environment after a decade, but I am excited to focus on the design and styling side of Nana and to stay connected to our wonderful community of customers through our events in 2013,” says Flanagan. She adds, “I love Mount Pleasant, and the Nana spot is a great one. I am excited to see what entrepreneur scoops it up and brings a new idea to the neighborhood.”
Flanagan adds:
“There is no firm closing date yet, but it will be between January 21st and 24th. Our Winter Clearance Sale is in full-effect. Stop by before your favorite styles (all on sale) are scooped up! Then the store will be all ready for our clothing swap on January 26th.”
Keep up to date with Nana here.

A very reliable source sends some news about one of DC’s most well known salons – Immortal Beloved. Word is that Immortal Beloved is likely going to move from their current 1457 Church St, NW location to the nearby current location of the Muleh furniture store at 1831 14th Street, NW. They also say that Muleh will likely be moving into a new space in Georgetown. Not sure of the planned timing of this move but both Muleh and Immortal Beloved remain open. More info as it becomes available.
