There may have been places that opened and closed between counts, but since I take a snapshot approach, I miss those. That said, I can’t think of any such examples. Also, I sometimes get it wrong about closures (and then get angry letters from owners claiming they only *appear* closed). So please let me know if I got any wrong!
The Georgetown Metropolitan 
Say Cheese thankfully didn’t close – just moved a block west into the space next to the Graham on Thomas Jefferson. Sandwiches still delicious!
And hoe many of the new shops are marajuana shops ?
