Thanks to Nicole for passing on her petition:
“Prime Now allows for delivery of groceries from Whole Foods for $5. The service is excellent. But the amount of plastic packaging is over the top.

I’ve been getting lots of emails from folks asking for updates on the Streets Market coming to the old Metro K space. I’m told they are just waiting on a construction permit but they are definitely still coming. If all goes well they should open in the fourth quarter of 2019.
22nd and N Street, NW
Also the Streets coming to the West End is on track to open in the third quarter of this year.
Updates as we get exact opening dates at both locations.

From the Mayor’s Office:
“At RECon, the annual meeting of the International Council of Shopping Centers, Mayor Muriel Bowser, Rappaport Development, and WC Smith announced plans for Lidl US to open its first store in Washington, DC at Skyland Town Center, an 18-acre site located in Ward 7 at the intersection of Good Hope Road, Naylor Road, and Alabama Avenue SE. In January, the Mayor broke ground on Good Food Markets in the Bellevue community in Ward 8, making Lidl the second major announcement about bringing a new grocery store East of the River in the first six months of the Mayor’s second term.
“Lidl is a fantastic grocery store – a grocery store that we are proud to be bringing to the residents of Ward 7,” said Mayor Bowser. “Lidl knows what we know: Every corner of Washington, DC is a great place to do business. As we continue working to make our city’s prosperity more inclusive, this partnership is a reflection of the work we are doing to bring high-quality resources and amenities to every part of our city – amenities that will set our families and neighborhoods up for long-term success.”
The Skyland Development Team secured the lease with Lidl US, a grocer that operates more than 65 stores across nine East Coast states. Joining CVS and other restaurant and service uses, Lidl will occupy 29,089 square feet within the Skyland development. The store will be the first internationally recognized full-service supermarket to enter Wards 7 and 8 since 2007. (more…)

Sounds like the Glover Park Trader Joe’s dodged a bullet. Trader Joe’s website says:
“We’ve consulted our maps and compass and have found a terrific location for a store in Glover Park, Washington DC. Our Crew is working hard so we can open our doors in 2019.”
Shelves going in: (more…)
Spotted at the Giant in Van Ness.
I recommend sheltering in place immediately.

Ed. Note: Wait, are those palm trees? What are those?
Thanks to John for sending:
“I’ve always told myself I should live where palm trees grow. West End is getting tropical and it’s not just the humidity. Also that Streets Market in the background is supposed to be opening soon.”
Ed. Note: Wait, I didn’t even know a Street Market was coming here?!? Stay tuned for another one coming to Adams Morgan too.
Let’s hope it wasn’t more of this.
Thanks to Ralston for sending: “Yikes! How do we find out what’s going on. A Safeway employee posted outside was pretty tight-lipped. What’s up?” (more…)

DC Rez shares these disturbing, very disturbing, photos:
“Hey Safeway maybe instead of scribbling out the barcode, you could actually toss meat once it’s five days past the sell by date (photos taken Friday) and has visible mold all over it?? 1100 4th St, SW DC” (more…)
