Urban Sustainable Gardening Store Closes in Adams Morgan

By Prince Of Petworth


1787 Columbia Road, NW

Back in May 2010 we learned that the Urban Sustainable gardening store was planning on coming to 1787 Columbia Road, NW in Adams Morgan. Their Web site explained:

Our passion at Urban Sustainable is to promote the transformation of the urban resident into the urban farmer by providing the highest quality, best service, and widest selection of innovative growing supplies. With new technologies, cutting-edge growing techniques, and years of experience, we educate local communities on the value of growing food for personal consumption, and we provide everything they need to make the garden of their dreams a reality. Our ultimate aim is to facilitate sustainable, environmentally conscious living through urban agriculture.

On Wed. June 13th they announced that they have closed:

“Urban Sustainable is now CLOSED! We are relocating soon to the mid-west, look for details to be posted shortly.”

Prior to Urban Sustainable, 1737 Columbia Road was home to a locksmith.

Buffalo Exchange Clothing Store Opening in Logan Circle on June 16th

By Prince Of Petworth


1318 14th St, NW

Back in Nov. 2011 we learned that the Buffalo Exchange clothing store would be coming to 1318 14th St, NW in Logan Circle. We’ve now learned an opening date – June 16th.

From a press release:

Unique resale clothing store plans to open on June 16 in 14th Street Corridor

Called “a favorite of hipsters” by the Washington Post and “the cream of the crop of vintage stores” by NBC Washington, Buffalo Exchange brings the original concept of buy-sell-trade clothing to 14th Street Northwest with the opening of its first store in Washington, located off Logan Circle at 1318 14th Street NW.

Store hours will be Monday-Saturday 11–7 and Sunday 12–6.

The newly restored historic building will feature an interior with high ceilings, rustic looking flooring, preserved original brick walls and vintage display items scattered throughout. The store will offer 10 roomy, well-lit dressing rooms for women and men — plus two buy counters, where customers can sell their clothes for cash or trade.

Buffalo Exchange is unique because clothing and accessories are bought, sold and traded locally with store customers. Used clothes can be traded for any item in the store, including jewelry and brand new clothing. The ever-changing inventory includes designer wear, basics, vintage, jeans and one-of-a-kind items.

“Dear PoPville,

Back in April 2012 we learned:

“J.Crew will occupy 3,044 square feet on the ground floor and 5,581 square feet on the lower level for a total of 8,625 square feet in the Atlantic Building.”

Despite Best Efforts DC Noodles on U Street Closing for a Year After All

By Prince Of Petworth


1410 U St, NW

Back in April the owners of DC Noodles at 1410 U St, NW were adamant that they’d stay open despite major construction at 14th and U St, NW. Sadly, despite their best efforts to stay open they will be closing for a year. Their facebook page now says:

DC NOODLES is temporarily closing on July 1st. We will reopen in July, 2013.

We wanted (and tried) to remain open during construction but the new structure requires us to temporarily close. Good news- menu will be temporarily available at Rice [1608 14th St, NW] until Noodles reopened its doors next summer. Thanks for your support.

Stem, located next door to DC Noodles at 1412 U St, NW will also be closing for a year.

PAUL Bakery Coming to Foggy Bottom?

By Prince Of Petworth


2000 Pennsylvania Ave, NW

On Monday we saw PAUL opened their third location at 1000 Connecticut Ave, NW. Looks like they may have a 4th in the works. A commenter writes:

“They are also supposedly opening in 2000 Penn. NW (Tower Records old space) before the end of 2012. The building management sent out an announcement to tenants of the building last month.”

You can see PAUL’s menu here.

Maruka Gallery Closes in Shaw

By Prince Of Petworth


9th and N St, NW

Dear PoPville,

Any idea what happened to Maruka and the jewelery shop at the corner of 9th & N across from Old City Green. I live right there and they seemed to disappear overnight. It’s been there for a while and now that Shakti yoga is gone, that end is totally vacant.
