A few storefronts down from the recently opened Capital One and next to Soul Cycle, I’m told, is going to become a Bank of America. (more…)

Thanks to Anita for sending: “Starbucks at 7th and H NW is closing today. Employee confirmed today would be the last day they’re open. Bank taking over the space.”
As others noted last time we spoke about the coming closures – good alternatives in the area are: (more…)

Wisconsin and Albermarle Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Any word about what is going on in the former Burger Tap and Shake space next to the Tenley metro? Looks like some serious redesign going on inside.”
Tenleytown & Around reported a: “Chase Manhattan Bank is coming”.
Updates as they get closer to opening.

The Little Beet closed after four years here back in June. Previously this was the former Pei Wei space and a Mattress Discounters before that. Next up, a bank, apparently: (more…)

This is the former Urban Essentials. It is what it is.
Out of curiosity, anyone actually do their banking at Chase? (more…)

Thanks to Nicole for sending:
“Looks like there’s a Chase Bank coming to the old Urban Essentials furniture store location at 14th and Rhode Island NW in Logan Circle, joining the ranks of exciting new 14th Street destinations like the T-Mobile across the street and the Capital One coming to 14th and U.”

Thanks to a reader for sending a photo of the coming soon signage for Chase Bank at the corner of 14th and Park Road, NW (next to the coming Old Navy in DCUSA.) And about the Urban Essentials closing in Logan. Thanks to another reader for sending word that it’ll also be a Chase Bank.

This is something that’s been on my mind a while and in a previous post about a CVS coming to Petworth, someone mentioned that they’d like to see a bank branch as well. I have to echo that sentiment. It’s always (and I’ve noted it before) bothered me that the Petworth (and U St) metro doesn’t have a Chevy Chase ATM when so many other stops have them. Then it got me thinking that there really aren’t many banking options near where I live in Petworth (yes there is one further south in Park View). So my folks were here this past weekend and my Dad mentioned that it was often quite common for banks to neglect lower income neighborhoods. And of course we have plenty of “Checks Cashed” spots. I know they are useful to some folks but they really bother me just like the damn Cash Point commercials. I believe the “Checks Cashed” stores take a decent percentage every time you cash a check. But do regular hard working residents also not deserve a proper bank where a percentage of their check will not be removed every time they/we cash one? I’m not saying I want a bank on every single corner (nor do I want a CVS on every corner) but it does seem like a glaring omission in many neighborhoods considered lower income. Am I reading too much into this?

I know it’s a bank but I still thought it was worth noting as it is new construction. It is located on Wisconsin Ave near Q Street, NW. I think it looks pretty cool. I’m particularly liking the windows on the side. What do you guys think – thumbs up or down?

“Dear PoP,
My girlfriend and I are looking to set up a bank account. We both currently use Bank of America for our individual accounts but we’d like to consider other options. I was wondering if you or your readers have any suggestions or warnings for banks in the DC area.”
I have used Chevy Chase bank (which I think was bought by Bank of America) but I’m still upset that there are no Chevy Chase ATMs at the U Street or Petworth metros. Otherwise Chevy Chase has been pretty good. Do you guys have any good bank recommendations?
