“Dear PoPville,
This week I was working an event in DC/ Downtown and was in need of last minute name badge stock. I realized that since the Staples and Office Max closed, there are no brick and mortar stores in DC proper.

3515 Connecticut Ave, NW opened here in 2017 before that the space was home to Yogiberry and I believe this was the bagel place back in the day.
Thanks to Paige for sending word about the European Wax Center closing in the once vibrant Sam’s Park and Shop. Though the parking lot still flourishes! Well not for everyone…
