Thanks to Catherine for sending from DCUSA: “After over a year of anticipation and far too little information, there is FINALLY some indication that TBC is not a dream!!”
STAY TUNED.

Thanks to Mathew for sending: “They put the sign up today for a Krispy Kreme opening up in Columbia Heights.”
This is the former Radio Shack space that closed back in 2015. Updates as Krispy Kreme gets closer to opening. Now bring us our TACO BELL CANTINA signage!!

May 2011 is a month that lives in infamy (for me.) A wrong is about to be righted, in spades. Yes, I speak of the darkest of days – when the Taco Bell at 14th and U Street, NW closed. Well, I heard some scuttlebutt that a few blocks north on 14th in Columbia Heights at DCUSA a Taco Bell is coming. Not just any Taco Bell. A Taco Bell Cantina!! You can see what one looks like in Vegas here. I’d give this scuttlebutt an 88% accuracy rating. Poo-poo – salt throwing – knocking wood vigorously. May the gods be kind to us and STAY TUNED.

“Dear PoPville,
On DC USA’s operator’s site, it shows a picture of a “proposed storefront redesign”, which seems designed to cater to a more upscale set of retailers, such as those selling… penny farthing bicycles. [Ed. Note: See far right hand side of rendering above.]
It looks like it’s dated from December 2018, Do you know anything about this?
Since this has been up, DC USA has lost two more tenants (Panera and Payless), and has over ten vacancies on the first floor. (more…)

Thanks to Emily for sending signage of the Old Navy coming to Columbia Heights.
Wowza, thanks to Tanyr for sending. Panera opened up in DC USA back in October 2011. Wawa related?

Yesterday we learned that Gussini was leaving DC USA in Columbia Heights. But all is not lost!! In addition to a JPMorgan Chase Bank coming it appears our earlier Old Navy scuttlebutt is also panning out!!
I hear that Old Navy has signed their lease in DC USA and should be taking over the unleased storefront (between Gussini and the former Children’s Place) and a significant chunk of the Children’s Place location. So JPMorgan Chase Bank should be taking over the former Vitamin store space and the balance of the Children’s Place. The bottom line is that the Old Navy will be near 14th and Park. God willing. Updates when more is known.

Thanks to Amanda for sending: “Signs up for moving sale. The good news is that there is definite construction happening in the old children’s place and staples space.”
Hmm, Gussini only opened up in the part of the old Staples space last year. Previously we had heard that an Old Navy could be coming to DC USA. More recently I’ve heard a Gap, Gap Kids and/or a Michael’s crafting store. I still haven’t completely given up hope on those options but the space below under construction must be the JPMorgan Chase Bank?

Whoa – Ross reports:
“Competition for &pizza in old Zombie Donuts space in Columbia Heights?”
&pizza opened in the Columbia Heights Plaza back in March 2016. Zombie Donuts closed in December of last year. Pidzza has locations in Chinatown, Ivy City and most recently opened on U Street. You can see their menu here.
As I was typing this up I just got this email from Matthew:
“Pidzza in Chinatown. This has been up for close to 2 weeks now.
A friend tells me the pizza sauces were too spicy so she only had the pizza once, but wished they had a non-spicy sauce because she would eat there more often.”
Updates when we have an opening date in Columbia Heights and more info on Chinatown.
