Back in Feb. 2012 I heard some scuttlebutt that the Nash’s in the Tivoli at 3339 14th St, NW was going to become a Sleepys Mattress store. Turns out it’s true:

Thanks to a reader for sending a link to a Craigslist ad that says:
“HUNTED HOUSE, Vintage and Mid Century Modern, located at 1830 14th Street, NW for the last five years is counting down to opening day on the “hip”, “hot” H Street NE corridor in the next few weeks! Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, we’re still bringing the Mid Mod to our apartment-style showrooms on 14th Street, NW. Check out our earlier listing for what’s new this week and come help us clear out as we get ready to bring you more in a shiny BRAND NEW, BIGGER space on H Street, NE. Hit “H” for HUNTED HOUSE!”
I spoke with owner Mark Johnson on Sunday who confirmed the move. He said they’ll still be open at 1830 14th Street, NW (2nd floor) for two more weeks and will be open at the new location at 510 H St, NE by May 1st. In addition to being bigger, a major advantage of the new 510 H St, NE location is that it has a ground floor entry.
Hunted House was an early “neat neighborhood find” that we talked about here back in Dec. 2007. For those who’ve never visited, their Website says:
“Hunted House is a case of accidental birth! Its two founders, Mark and Ed, came at it from different angles. Ed, an interior design professional has a true-love for furniture having sold it for many years.
Mark, who has always loved Art Deco and Mid Century furniture and has collected a house full of it over the years, knows that there are many others who love vintage furniture and want to find it at affordable prices. With his good eye for period pieces as many customers have noted, and Ed’s knowledge of furniture and design, the two started buying select vintage furniture, particularly Mid Century…”
You can take a look at some of their goods here.
The reader who originally wrote in said that, if true, this would be a huge gain for H Street. I couldn’t agree more – this is a fantastic score for H Street. First HR 57 moves from 14th St, NW to H St, NE and now Hunted House – could this be the beginning of a trend developing?

On Tues. Grassroots Gourmet tweeted:

104 Rhode Island Ave NW is located a couple storefronts down from Boundary Stone.
It’s great to see this former horse’s ass award nominee get fixed up at 1832 14th St, NW just south of T Street. I peeked in the window yesterday and the first floor which will be home to a rug/carpet store looks nearly ready:
Back in mid-Jan. 2012 we learned the second floor will be home to a pizza spot by Edan Macquaid. Def. still looking forward to that.

For a hot second it looked like the great building at the corner of 3rd and P St, NW could become home to a wine store. The retail space has become a regular bodega/corner store called 3rd Street Market.

Dear PoPville,
It looks like the weird discount clothing store at 2818 Georgia Ave packed up and it’s now going to be a Boost Mobile. Little step back for the neighborhood in my opinion.
Dear PoP,
Do you know anything the Corner Market on Florida at Seaton Pl? You last posted in 2008. It’s been closed since we moved in nearby a year ago, but my girlfriend recently saw what looked like a fancy reception/dinner party going on inside.
We walk by almost every day and wish it was just that- a corner market or Dupont Market-ish place.
I stopped by on Sunday and ran into the new owner who told me it will be home to District Design, an architecture and design firm.
I hear that an art gallery and studio is coming to 1015 U St, NW home to the former Eaton’s Barber Shop. It’s been vacant for a bit so I really hope this is accurate. Plus it would be great to have a new art gallery!
1015 U Street is located right next door to the Lovely Frozen Yogurt spot which looks very close to opening.
A couple of weeks ago I posted about the Floridano food truck opening a brick and mortar restaurant in the former Brown’s Caribbean Bakery at 3301 Georgia Ave, NW. Some readers were saddened by the closing of Brown’s but I had thought they reopened further up north on Georgia Ave. Turns out I was off by a letter. There is a Crown Caribbean Bakery located at 5409 Georgia Ave, NW. So for those who are craving some Caribbean pastries – this will probably scratch that itch.
I’ve been wondering for a while who’ll be moving into the space beneath Chipotle at 1629 Connecticut Ave, NW. I finally saw some workers inside who said it will be a new massage place called Health Magic.
