I stopped by today and it seems like a great space! The owners were really friendly and they have a great selection of books. I’m really excited to go to the community events!

Nice concept, but who buys book from a bookstore anymore when they can be had online for more than 60% off the MSRP? I can’t pay extra for something just to be supportive. I hope they plan to sell something besides books.

i tried to get them to come to h street a few years back, a community with a serious need for sisterspace’s adult literacy programs (my ex did adult literacy tutoring and her understanding seemed to be that there was quite a need in the area for adult literacy assistance).

oh well. lucky petworth.

Fantastic news! It’s like having a mini Politics and Prose in our little neighbourhood.

This is great news! I recall the U Street location serving as a bookstore and a meeting place for discussions by visiting authors, artists, and community events. I once stumbled on one such event with a group of out of town guests who really enjoyed it.

I view their presence as a great community-building resource for a dynamic and growing neighborhood like Petworth.

Welcome back Sisterspace!

i believe they were evicted from their last space for nonpayment of rent. they were quite a bit in arrears if i’m correct. so maybe a business plan would be a good idea.
