Coming and Going

It looks like the Longview Gallery, 1302 9th Street, NW, will be moving. Despite the sign, the gallery is currently still open. I ran into the owner who mentioned they were in the process of securing a new space. I’ll update that info as it becomes available.
And in bodega news it looks like the old Roosevelt Food Shoppe, 1418 12th Street, NW, is getting completely rehabbed. Looking in the window it seemed nearly completed. I’m not sure if it’s going to remain a bodega or turn into something else. As soon as it opens I’ll be sure to post photos of the new spot.

We don’t use the term ‘bodega’ in DC.
Just saying.

@ontarioroader: I beg to differ; here in Bloomingdale, we have the excellent Timor Bodega. Besides, I don’t see any problem with using the term ‘bodega’ regardless of the store name.
Regarding Longview: I talked to the owner awhile back and he said they may be moving near 5th & K.

From the picture posted by PoP, it is a small grocery store in the city. It is unclear if this small grocery store specializing in Hispanic groceries.

The Longview Gallery has had some pretty awesome artists come there. I hope it won’t move too far away from Shaw/ Mt Vernon. Count me in this Saturday.
