This corner’s transformation is jaw dropping:

“Dear PoPville,
I know you guys wrote about the problems with the Tivoli Square Giant – but I’m unhappy to report that they are back again. So far this week they are installing a new checkout system, that will become standard at all Giant’s. This system, which is designed for smaller receipts to be printed, was called “slower” by the 2 cashiers i’ve visited this week, and clearly has a great number of flaws as well. Most importantly, Giant either no longer accepts phone numbers as a replacement for physical bonus cards, (as one cashier told me) or is forcing everybody to re-register their numbers as myself, and the 5 people in line with me all were told by the cashier that the system “didn’t recognize the number” which mean we didn’t have numbers because the new system was fool-proof.
All in all, my last two trips to Giant have featured 45 minute waits at the checkout and non functioning, “new and improved systems”
I don’t understand why, after fighting so hard to regain the trust of the community, Giant is letting Trivoli be the guinea pig for a system that clearly isn’t ready for prime time. Do you have any more information on what the changes are and why?”
Brookland is blowing up. There really is no debate anymore – it is. I’ve heard tons of scuttlebutt over the past few months and many from folks in the know with a high degree of certainty. One of the most exciting is that Whole Foods is apparently pretty much a done deal. If half of the scuttlebutt I’ve heard is true, I’d expect many more (big and small) announcements about Brookland in the near future too…

In late June we learned that Each Peach Market coming to the former Nana space in Mt. Pleasant had launched a kickstarter campaign to get them the rest of the way home. They made it. They have currently raised $20,531 and still have two days to go. Nice!

“After the deal is complete, Kroger would operate 2,631 supermarkets and employ more than 368,300 people across 34 states and Washington, D.C.”
Any fans of Kroger?

Thanks to all who sent emails. We’ve been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the “Natural Market” coming to the new Capitol View on 14th building. They’ve applied for a liquor license which says:
“New grocery store with organic and locally grown produce, meats, nutritious foods, and eco household products. Their food court will serve as a bakery, deli and sushi bar. 25% or less Alcohol Sales.”
Hours will be Sunday through Saturday 8:00 am – 10:00 pm. More info as it becomes available.

Back in April we learned more details about Each Peach market coming to the former Nana’s space in Mt. Pleasant. They’ve just launched a kickstarter campaign to get them the rest of the way:
We have our shop space on Mt. Pleasant Street and have made great strides in getting it ready for our opening later in summer 2013. We are putting the final touches on the build out and getting our shop ready for business. What comes next is the fun (though challenging!) part– purchasing all the delicious products and raw ingredients that we’ve identified and getting our shop shelves stocked up. That’s where we can really use your support- it take a huge initial investment to purchase all our goodies and inspirational ingredients. We are financing this market all ourselves with the support of our friends, families and community are being as bootstrappy as possible. That is why we are asking for you support to give us that additional push that we need to get the yum in our shop!
Lots more information here.
A couple days ago Navy Yard ANC Rep David Garber tweeted:
“Hmmm.. just received BZA application for a new “grocery store and apartment” development at 800 NJ Ave (NJ & H SE). Whole Foods?”
Last night he sent an updated tweet though renderings haven’t been shared yet:
“Got renderings for “grocery+apts” building at NJ & H SE. Let’s just say grocery sign is green.”
In a response he admits:
“Haha — y’know.. no lease is signed but it’s fun knowing we could be really close again. Stars *starting* to align.”
So wishful thinking or you think this will really happen?
Ed. Note: A Harris Teeter is coming to Navy Yard at 4th and M St, SE.

Thanks to a reader for passing on word from the TakomaDC listserv. The plans are for Harris Teeter to open in 2016. The project would also include 220 residential units.
