Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Lots of GU grads have life given to them on a silver platter. Some literally so.
• A nice primer on the upcoming campus plan process.

While the storefront has a modern feel with its gigantic sports posters, 3140 M St. has a rather old facade. Today GM plugged in a photo of the store window from 1922. At the time is hosted the Kendrick Harrison Furniture Co.

Shorpy took a look at this photo back in 2008. A commenter had this to add:

Kendrick-Harrison Furniture Co. was located in Georgetown at 3140 M street. They opened in the fall of 1922, advertising furniture, bedding, carpets and stoves. Additionally they claimed to be the “Headquarters for Toys in Georgetown.” By 1926 they were bankrupt with their goods being sold at auction on March 3rd of that year.

The clairvoyant next door was Mme. Trent, located at 3138 M street, above the Hench Shoe Store. She was an all-around low cost palmist.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Lots of high priced real estate sales in Georgetown these days.
• A scavenger hunt in Georgetown.

GM’s got a creative, thirteen year old neighbor, who apparently knows her way around iMovie. She and her friend made this oddly affecting short film with puppets set to “Say Something”. Give her some clicks!

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• The plan for micro-units having fallen through, the old Latham Hotel has been sold again. It is likely to be returned to use as a hotel or perhaps a mix of hotel and luxury apartments.
• Laduree confirms that they’re coming to DC. GM has previously reported that they’re coming to Georgetown.
