Bloo Moo Frozen Yogurt is coming to the former Marvelous Market space at 4530 Wisconsin Ave. NW. Huge space for Frozen Yogurt but I guess they do offer lots of flavors. Looks like this is their first location.
Retail
Three Little Pigs, Charcuterie & Salumi is coming to 5111 Georgia Ave, NW very soon.
Back in October 2011 we learned that Verizon Wireless was moving next door to the former Spezie restaurant at 1742 L St, NW. This weekend I noticed signs went up announcing who will be moving into the former Verizon spaces. Turns out it will be a MyEyeDr:
and a Ritz Camera:
Of course there is already a large Ritz Camera at the corner of 18th and L St, NW:
When I spoke to folks at the corner Ritz location they thought the current store would be closed and they’d be moved into the new space by the end of March. The new space is about half the size of the current space. The downsizing of this Ritz follows the news of Penn Camera’s bankruptcy and closing not too far away at 1015 18th Street, NW.
This week we looked at where the DSW and Lime Fresh will be located in DC USA in Columbia Heights. Today we’ll look at Tasti D-Lite. We heard a Tasti D-Lite was coming to Columbia Heights back in Aug. 2011. They also have a Dupont location open at 2029 NW P St, NW. The Columbia Heights location will be on Irving Street between Panera and Panda Express. It also requires a complete build out so keep an eye out for a late spring/early summer opening.
Dear PoPville,
Boveda Tribal Arts is NEVER open. (3165 Mt. Pleasant St. NW 2nd Floor).I live in the neighborhood and swing by a couple times a week (going on 10 months now) to see if anyone is around. I have tried calling, leaving messages, email….everything. No one in the hood seems to know what is going on.
I want to purchase a ring that I spotted in the store over a year ago. I must have it and I am kicking myself for not buying it at the time!
Any ideas?
I stopped by earlier in the week but was the store was locked. I asked next door and they thought the owner may have been visiting family in Chicago but was not 100% sure. Anyone else know why Boveda seems to be closed in Mt. Pleasant?

Future home of DSW on Irving St, NW in DC USA
Back in March 2011 we first heard that a DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) was coming to DC USA in Columbia Heights. I was having a tough time visualizing where it would be located. So last week I finally got a tour from DC USA’s Director of Building Operations, David Stein. And holy cow, this is gonna be a way bigger deal than I thought. So it turns out there is going to be a whole second wing called the Irving Street wing which will have it’s own entrance and lobby accessible, naturally, on Irving St, NW just west of 14th Street:
And DSW will occupy 22,000 square feet over the entire second floor. If construction goes according to schedule they will be open in July/August.
Future location of escalator to 2nd floor and DSW
The first floor will consist of 2 more retail tenants. There have been lots of discussions though both leases are still available. I’ll be sure to announce as soon as new tenants are found. In the meantime get ready for the opening of the Irving Street wing featuring DSW this summer.
Back in Dec. 2011 I mentioned that 4NXC closed at 1017-19 U St, NW and that 1019 U St, NW was replaced by Arzo, also a clothing store. I was waiting to see who would fill in the other half of the former 4NXC at 1017 U St, NW. I now hear it will be Frozen Yogurt. I’m not sure it is Fro Zen Yo or another proprietor but permits have already been issued for the space. Stay tuned.
A reader sends some interesting scuttlebutt for the recently close Pottery Barn in Chevy Chase Pavilion at 5345 Wisconsin Ave, NW. Construction has started on the space and the reader here’s an H & M will be taking over. Anyone else hear that rumor?
