[Delivered on 3/19/09. Amor populi Præsidium Reg!]
Greetings from the Hattie Holmes Senior Wellness
Center. Sorry I'm late.
Today I'm going to run through some of the major
changes to the Dupont Circle neighborhood in the past
year.
At the circle itself, Jurys hotel shut down for a
major renovation, closing the Dupont Grille as well.
P St's renovation was finished, bring a new road, new
sidewalks, and new fixtures. Cafe Tropé opened and
closed. Crepes-a-Go-Go opened. 1 West Dupont Circle
Wine & Liquors opened. Saigon Bistro replaced Aioli
Meditalian Gourmet. TangySweet opened. Submarina
California Subs opened.
On Connecticut Ave, Candleman moved to a new location,
then closed. G-Star Raw replaced Sisley. Darlington
House replaced Childe Harold.
South of the circle, CVS replaced the old movie
theatres, and introduced the new Beauty 360 store.
Chop’t opened a location. Hello Cupcake opened.
Pasara Thai Restaurant opened. And sadly, Olsson's
closed.
On 17th St, Club Chaos closed. Level One opened below
Cobalt. Sweetlicks closed. Mr. Yogato opened. Tranquil
Space opened. Salon Rouge replaced the Meat Market
Gallery. Stead Park was given a new childrens
playground.
On the 1400 block of P St, Raku replaced Izakaya
within the WFM. Commissary replaced Merkado Kitchen.
Lululemon opened. Nearby, a new Vida gym opened. On
Church St, Dragonfly and Eco-Green Living closed.
On 14th St, Posto replaced Viridian. Candida's World
of Books closed. Timothy Paul Bedding + Home opened.
Bang & Olufsen opened. Miss Pixie's opened. Garden
District's "Interior Garden Shop" opened. Rue 14
replaced Pop. Source Theatre was renovated and saved
from the brink.
On U St, Ulah Bistro opened. DC Noodles and Stem
replaced Simply Home. The Healing Arts Gallery opened.
Arena Stage began performances in the Lincoln Theater,
bringing massive crowds to U St.
Notable projects elsewhere include the opening of
Harris Teeter in Adams Morgan and a Yes! Organic
Market north of U St. Belgian shop Locolat opened in
Adams Morgan. The big Target store opened in Columbia
Heights. Georgetown Cupcake brought massive crowds to
Georgetown, and Apple got their plans approved for
their first DC store on Wisconsin Ave.
The city began a bicycle-sharing program.
Party on, and be excellent to each other.
