The Georgetown Metropolitan 
Thank you listing the 2009 closings and openings in Georgetown. A couple quick points/corrections:
a) The Sharper Image closed nationally in the spring of 2008, not 2009, and
b) Ligne Roset’s website claims that its Georgetown store is not closing, but relocating from Cady’s Alley to Wisconsin Avenue soon (no address provided)
Thanks Vassilis. I was a little unsure about the mall stores because last year when I did this survey I didn’t perform a walk-through of the mall. I simply referred to the website, which was clearly out of date. Going forward I should have a more accurate picture since I actually walked through the mall this year to survey the stores.
Chez Mama San closed way before 2009; according to Yelp, it was in 2007. I think it might have been earlier than that.
Thanks Anon. It’s off the beaten path a little bit, so I didn’t realize it was closed when I counted it last year.
Any other ones I got wrong?

A lost retailer not listed is the Swedish store Tretorn – it closed a couple months ago.
I believe Modern is still open. At least at nights anyway.
Yeah I just learned that the Modern is still open today. It sure as hell looked closed though.
I’ll make those changes.
the reason a bottle disco will be good at the old nathans is there’s nothing around for them to disturb. cag/anc always get upset about that. they have three floors, which is way better than a basement,what modern is now.
Do’s Custom Tailors did not close. It’s lease was not renewed in that location and it has moved up Wisconsin Ave, a bit north of P St, if I recall correctly.
Do did not close. All tenants were evicted from the Nathans building. Do is now across from Thomas Sweet/Marvelous Market, second floor. 1508 Wisconsin Avenue.
