By Prince Of Petworth


1864 Columbia Road, NW

As late December has come and gone and many, many folks have inquired what’s up with the Streets Market coming to the former Metro K space. The folks from Streets Market tell me they are now on track for: “a late Jan / early Feb opening. Almost done on the inside.”

We should have a firmer date in the next couple of weeks. STAY TUNED.
