Plus the coffee shop idea sounds perfect for our area.Stanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14191303731032003641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742938068591392921.post-20996894841267869152008-10-25T11:48:00.000-04:002008-10-25T11:48:00.000-04:00This is truly a tragic development with wide-ranging consequences to the 14th Street retail corridor, most importantly to our many localy-owned furniture businesses. This goes beyond a candidate&#39;s ANC aspirations and I can only hope that both candidates for ANC 2B09 are in agreement on this issue. We as a community need to support our local businesses and be vocal in our opposition of this Big-Box retailer. The addition of a mega retail outlet on 14th will degrade the charm of the entire area. Please stand up and write to Room &amp; Board and also voice your strong support to the many local furniture shops on 14th and U Streets. What the hell, go buy a chair or a cocktail table today!!!!<BR/><BR/>Chris BrownChris Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08757206655220429520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742938068591392921.post-33367913157471618282008-10-18T11:45:00.000-04:002008-10-18T11:45:00.000-04:00Seriously, this corner really needs some help.

Who woudln't like the convenience of having a gas station nearby, but there has to be a way to make the decor more fitting with the surrounding area!Miki Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01703047710258494314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742938068591392921.post-61368967623660206692008-10-13T09:41:16.225-04:002008-10-13T09:41:16.225-04:00From my conversations with those involved involved in the project, the lease negotiations are still on-going. Let's hope these retail owners are successful in signing a lease. I agree, we do need a project like this in our neighborhood!Doug A.

I certainly hope you find the support you need to win this election; we need your voice on the ANC.Dupont Citizenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08757206655220429520noreply@blogger.com
