As owner of one of the independent shops just off Wisconsin – and a Georgetown resident who loves having local shops in the neighborhhood – I hate to report that my G’town branch will surely be one of the exit stats this year.

I’ve stubornly held on for 9 yrs, thinking things would turn around – but it just keeps getting worse. Georgetowners don’t support their own (where do they shop? dunno-) and not enough influx (due to traffic, parking, crime…) to stay afloat.
Love your blog!
