Thanks to Dennis for sending:

“The new 7-Eleven in Mount Vernon Square just opened today and it is fancy! There is a taco bar and instant coffee machines.” (more…)


From the owners:

“Construction is well underway and ‪we want to be open yesterday, but it’s looking like late March or early April. We are so honored and humbled that so many people are excited our arrival, but please don’t hold us to that date as there are many balls in the air that we don’t have control over. We can’t wait to start providing Shaw/Mount Vernon a steady supply of bagels! (more…)

Thanks to John for sending a photo of the restored signage above.
