The store, which opened last year at 1242 Wisconsin, shipped its goods up to 1533 Wisconsin Ave. over the weekend. It will reopen at the new location Thursday. Continue reading →

After a long wait, the L.A. Burdick Chocolate shop is finally open at 1319 Wisconsin Ave. And it’s a really swell looking place.

The warmly decorated shop breaks up the deep and narrow space into a couple different areas. Chocolates dominate the front section, with luxurious looking treats both sold separately and in prepackaged boxes. A little further back and you’ll find the pastry counter, where coffee and “drinking chocolate” orders can also be placed. Continue reading →

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• If you attended Christ Church in the last couple weeks, you are advised to self-quarantine.
• One of JFK’s old houses is for sale.

Longtime burger and wing shop Wingo’s shut down in June 2018 after a severe fire. Owner Mike Arthur vowed to reopen the shop shortly afterwards.

But in the meantime, Arthur opened a second Wingo’s location in Glover Park, which is doing gangbusters. And the Georgetown location has sat with no obvious work being done. The combination of those two facts got GM wondering if Arthur still intended to reopen the Georgetown shop. And wing-lovers will be happy to hear that he does in fact still plan to reopen. He just got a permit for the roof work and will turn to the interior after. He says if thing go well, they’ll be open by July 1st (coincidentally GM’s birthday).

So just a couple more months, wing-lovers.
