After seven years, it appears the vintage secondhand clothing store Annie Creamcheese is closing up shop. Rather than shut down for good, the store announced on a sign in the window that they are moving to L.A. Specifically the sign states that next spring they will be open in Westwood Village “next to UCLA”.
While it’s only been in Georgetown since 2005, it feels like it’s been here longer, taking its place among other recently departed stores like Commander Salamander and Up Against the Wall as the go-to source of teenage punk chic.
GM wishes the store-owners well on their move out west.

This week on Now and a Long Time Ago, GM walked down a block and a half from his house to check out 33rd and P. GM is still working out some kinks in his computer, so this week he’s trying out a new way to merge the old with the new, what do you think?
The full old shot is here, taken from the wonderful repository of old streetcar photos: Continue reading

GM came into possession of a flyer that Vornado is circulating to retail brokers whose clients may be interested in opening a restaurant in the renovated Georgetown Park Mall. The flyer is the first relatively concrete document GM has seen that reveals what is likely going to be the shape and makeup of the mall; and it’s not pretty. (GM reached out to Vornado for confirmation of the information contained in the flyer, but did not receive a response).
The flyer is requesting proposals for two restaurants to be located along the canal. The first would be along the southeast corner of the building, near the Wisconsin Ave. bridge, and the other would be at the southwest corner, adjacent to Dean & Deluca. Both spaces have a ton of potential (particularly the second one) but that’s not the thing that jumped out at GM the most.
The flyer confirms what GM has been hearing for a long time: that a primary tenant in the new mall will be the budget clothing store T.J. Maxx. The flyer also shows that the space will be shared by HomeGoods, which is a sister store of T.J. Maxx that sells budget home wares, like sofas and rugs.
The store will have an entrance along M St. but will primarily be below grade (much like the Bed Bath & Beyond in Gallery Place). Continue reading
