This is in the former barber shop right outside the Petworth metro. And I was just saying to myself how I wish Georgia Avenue had more bodega/market options… Maybe we should offer some tax incentives to attract retail other than Markets like this? There’s gotta be at least two per block in every direction. Or am I overreacting?
This rental is located at 3644 Warder St, NW:
The listing says:
“2 Blocks to Metro*English basement vacant for immediate occupancy*Separate Meter Electricity”
This 1 bed/1 bath is going for $1,000/Mo.

Petworth Cleaners is having their Grand Opening today at 3903 Georgia Ave, NW. From the owner:
We offer next day organic dry cleaning as well as a on site tailor. For our grand opening, we’re offering 20% off all dry cleaning. We also provide shirts laundry, alterations, and shoe repair. I’m coming from my parents store in Bloomingdale where i’ve worked for the last 4 years.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in about the new murals that went up at Annie’s Ace Hardware, coming to 1240 Upshur Street, NW. The murals/maps were done by Petworth’s own Torie Partridge.
I stopped by last Friday and took a quick tour to get a sense of the space pre-shelving. Plus the outdoor gardening section is still being finished as well. A master gardener is also on staff! I can’t wait to see the space once the shelving goes in.
And since Spring is around the corner, I was also psyched to see we’ll have a new spot to get our propane refilled. And the date is in stone – opening Feb. 7th!
Do you think this will hurt businesses on this still revitalizing commercial strip? Or do you see this as a good sign – like the strip has arrived?
This is awesome. The folks from Chez Billy’s coming to 3815 Georgia Ave, NW in Petworth are having a pop up meal at the Montserrat House in Shaw on Fri. Jan. 20th.

It’s great to see this section of Georgia Ave, NW continue to get fixed up. This former rundown building is located at 3927 Georgia Ave, NW. You can see what it looked like (2nd photo) in October here.
