The fantastic blog Metrocurean reports that a wine bar will be opening up in the place of the coffee shop Sparky’s on 14th St. So, is this good news or bad news? What were your thoughts on Sparky’s? What the hell is a wine bar anyway? I’ve always been preferential to proper bars. Now, don’t get me wrong I’m siked for a wine store like D’vines to open but a wine bar…
If you will it, it is no dream. A big welcome to Dunkin Donuts. We’ve been waiting a long time for you…
Located at 4532 Georgia Ave NW Flip It Bakery is a great place to go to eat dessert after you have lunch at Moroni and Brothers Pizza (see above).
After 5 years of living in Petworth I have finally found an excellent dry cleaner…in Columbia Heights. The Georgetown Valet Dry Cleaner right across the street from the Giant on Park Road was a delight. They even got a stain out that was set like three years ago. So if you are going grocery shopping at the Giant anyway, I’d recommend giving them a try. The staff was courteous and the cleaning was top notch and the price was right. There were no arguments, no staring contests, in fact there was no grumbling at all, it was a pure delight, exactly what going to a dry cleaner should be like…hassle free.
Again, not exactly in Petworth but close enough. There is a fantastic independent bookstore on 14th and Q near the Bike Rack. Until we get one of our own this great bookstore is well worth visiting especially if you like international travel.
Well, not exactly Petworth but as I always say, if I can walk to it, I can blog about it. At any rate people seem to love bicycles in Petworth. And we have already seen the coolest bike in Petworth. So I thought people would like this neat find on Q Street just off of 14th Street: A sweet neighborhood bike shop.
Everyone was quite favorable about this garden store last I wrote about it. I just walked by it again and noticed they have added an addition. It looks like a number of locusts are crawling up the wall. Aren’t locusts bad for gardens?
In every city I have ever lived in, whether in the USA or abroad, every time I have seen a rug store there is always a clearance sale. This is example is located on 14th Street. These carpet stores always claim to be going out of business. But I’m on to them now…
Who knew? Unfortunately it looks like this gallery on Georgia Ave. is up for lease. I’d love to see another art gallery. Did anyone visit this one before it went out of business?
This large storefront is located on Taylor Street just east of Georgia. What makes this storefront notable is the three main windows. This looks like it can be a pretty big store. It has lots of documents on one window for all the necessary permits. But permits for what? What could this large store be?
PS, I’ll be posting an update from last Friday’s question of the week tomorrow so get ready for our quest to bring a chocolate shop, Java Green, bakery, garden store, hardware store and/or Dunkin Donuts to Petworth. Who knows, maybe one of these has already been selected for the above storefront.
