Linked: Big Boxes/Shut Downs
26 10 2008Shaw - The plans for a diner/comedy club/yoga studio/dance company at 14th and T won’t see the light of day… The developer has sold the space to a big-box furniture store. [GGreater Washington]
Penn Quarter - The former Equitable Bank building that for the last few years served as Club Platinum and Teen Club Bounce was ceremoniously shut down this week. Any ideas for what should replace it? [PQLiving]
Mt Vernon Triangle - Debate rages over to pros and cons of preservation centered around the plans for the corner of 6th and K street NW. [The Triangle]
Ummm 14th and T is Shaw?! Since when…
Ummm since always Alex.
Shaw is N Street all the way up to Florida Ave NW typically,

Contact Room & Board and tell them to find another location… outbidding local businessmen who developed a business plan with the help of community input is bad mojo for a chain that could come in and put some of the indie furniture stores out of business.
I don’t think Shaw stretches west to 14th though… That’s more Logan Circle than Shaw…. And yes, Room & Board needs to find a new location. I’m sure they could get another space within a couple blocks of that location and still on 14th…
Logan Circle is part of Shaw in my humble opinion… but to each his own.
