By Order of the Prince of Petworth Today Proclaimed Calvert Woodley Fine Wines & Spirits Day – Happy 40th Legend(s)!!

By Prince Of Petworth

From Calvert Woodley (4339 Connecticut Avenue, NW):

“On this day in 1982, two competitors, Calvert Liquors and Woodley Wine & Liquor, came together to create one liquor store that could do it all. But we wouldn’t still be here, 40 years later, without our loyal customers. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to continuing to serve you for many years to come.

We would also like to give special recognition to three remarkable individuals who’ve been here since day one; Ibrahim Ahmed, Tom McKnew and Berrisford Harris. (more…)

Klune and V.E. Schwab, both authors with recently famous titles, but who also have large catalogs of great stories most people don’t know about. (more…)
