Thanks to Sean for sending the latest on Mott’s Market. The listing for $1,250,000 says:

“Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase beloved Mott’s Market. A wide and large semi-detached rowhome that is prominently on the corner of Gessford Court and overlooking Walter Street – all just steps from Lincoln Park and Eastern Market in the heart of Capitol Hill. Purpose-built in 1916 as a store and second-floor home for Samuel Gotkin, the site appears to have been a corner store for over a century and became Mott’s Market in 1969. It is zoned RF-1 with a commercial use code of 042-Store-Miscallenous and currently has a Retail – Grocery B license from the DC Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration. (more…)

Thanks to Jayne for sending:

“This corner store is getting a makeover or maybe under new ownership. They’ve been moving furniture and things around for awhile, but I guess they’re redoing the market at 13th and Otis. Will be called “Mood.”

“I’m writing to encourage the community to show some love and support to the owners of Pan Am Fresh Supermarket”

3320 Brown Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I’m writing to encourage the community to show some love and support to the owners of Pan Am Fresh supermarket on Brown St. in Mount Pleasant due to the brazen robbery they endured on Tuesday morning. I spoke with a staff member the next day and she said the robber made a beeline for the register and twice pushed the owner down with such force that she was injured and an ambulance was necessary. This and the fact that it occurred in broad daylight is very disturbing. I live nearby and the owners are extremely kind and generous people. Not to mention their Indian cuisine is amazing and they always throw in extra food. If you’re in the area, please be sure to stop by and support this great small business.”
