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.
Brings us a bit further east on Upshur. You can see this storefront is next to Duke’s Seafood. I think this may be the bakery that we have heard so much about. Care to speculate? While we are at it, anyone try Duke’s Seafood?
This storefront is looking pretty nice, it is next to the barbershop on Upshur near Georgia Ave. This store may also have the best name ever, besides EatMore Fried Chicken of course. Beveragemania. I hope it truly is and that there is a fantastic selection of wines, beer, etc. Anyone else know anything about this?
Welcome to another new feature here at the PoP. I’m going to feature photos of a number of new stores/businesses that are coming to the neighborhood and we are going to speculate as to what type of business is coming. Volume one features a storefront on Georgia Ave, a few stores down from Temperance Hall. The windows and doors seem to be brand new and I am encouraged by the brown paper covering the windows, which usually signals construction inside, as opposed to just being plain old boarded up. So does anyone know what is coming? Care to speculate?
Welcome to a new feature from PoP. Neat neighborhood finds will feature some less popular, and some lesser known neighborhood stores. Volume One is proud to feature Mom and Pop Antiques located on the corner of Otis and Georgia Ave. This is a fantastic store that looks a lot like a deranged person’s house or at the very least someone with a very serious obsessive compulsive disorder. It is jam packed with every conceivable tshotke. As you can see from the photo, my favorite is the Cutty Sark lamp. They have everything from mirrors, to chairs, to cabinets, to records to you name it. It is fantastic and certainly worth checking out. If you have a neighborhood find that you think should be featured please email me at [email protected].
Does anyone go here? I often walk by it but I imagine it is way more expensive than Home Depot.
