[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is up with Tenleytown? I know that it was not an AU tenant but apparently Tenleytown could not even support a Starbucks on a prime metro location.

Gastropub closed and just sitting boarded up vacant.

Kitty O'Shea's just vacant.

Young adults are the lifeblood of the bar and restaurant industry, and Tenleytown is about the last place young adults want to live in DC. College students alone can't support those businesses because half of them can't drink legally and the other half doesn't want to hang out in a dingy Irish pub when they could go to a bar that caters to their generation on U St or Adams Morgan.

I grew up in Tenleytown when regular people could still afford to live there, that's why places like [b]Maggie's, Armand's, [/b]Round Table, and Babe's could exist.  Now Tenley is a victim of its own success. The only people who can pay $1.5MM for a house there are overworked attorneys and DCUM's famous "if you have more than one drink you're an alcoholic, if you have more than 3 bites of food a day you're a fatty" housewives, neither of which have the time and inclination to frequent bars and restaurants, or at least the kind of restaurants that can exist in Tenleytown.

I don't know that pining for two shitty pizza places is really the best argument, PP.  [/quote]
