[quote=Anonymous]I have been going into the office in the "Golden Triangle" pretty steadily for the last three years. There was a big wave of closures a year in (including the Starbucks-pocalypse) then there were some stragglers that finally threw in the towel in the past year. Paul, Daily Grill, some of the Sprint/Verizon wireless stores, a bunch of CVS's. That stretch between 18th and Connecticut is a graveyard. Just GNC and Starbucks survive. But while some leases are continuing to run out, the area generally seems better in terms of foot traffic. The 19th street Wawa strip is still hopping. There's a new sushi place on 17th. And a new coffee shop FINALLY opened above Farragut North where the old insane Starbucks used to be. City's tax situation is dire but it is less depressing that it has been.[/quote]
