By Prince Of Petworth


233 12th Street, SE

Thanks to Sean for sending the latest on Mott’s Market. The listing for $1,250,000 says:

“Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase beloved Mott’s Market. A wide and large semi-detached rowhome that is prominently on the corner of Gessford Court and overlooking Walter Street – all just steps from Lincoln Park and Eastern Market in the heart of Capitol Hill. Purpose-built in 1916 as a store and second-floor home for Samuel Gotkin, the site appears to have been a corner store for over a century and became Mott’s Market in 1969. It is zoned RF-1 with a commercial use code of 042-Store-Miscallenous and currently has a Retail – Grocery B license from the DC Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration. (more…)

5600 Georgia Ave, NW

Thanks to Natalie for sending: “Dollar Tree opened in the old Rite Aid(?) location at 5600 Georgia Ave. Store is fully stocked — and I could have sworn I saw a bunch of cars and shoppers here when I passed by a few days ago. But apparently the store is having some “unforeseen permit and certification issues” so its grand opening has been delayed for now. Hope it opens soon. (more…)

From an email:

“From being the first to supply the now-famous “Landfill Harmonic” Paraguayan children with instruments to servicing nearly 100 instruments for D.C.’s Jefferson Academy, over the past 20 years, D.C.’s Middle C Music (4530 Wisconsin Ave. NW) has been a pillar of the local community and beyond. When word got out in 2004 that the nearby Best Buy was going to build a music store, the community successfully organized on Middle C’s behalf and Best Buy pulled out. Since inception, there has been three “Middle C Music Day Recognition” as voted by D.C. City Council.

And on March 19 they’re celebrating 20 years in Tenleytown. (more…)
