[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No location is keeping retail.  Look at Cleveland Park, Glover Park, Georgetown.  Empty storefronts and rapid turnover in the occupied spaces.  We like Amazon, but this is the result.[/quote]

Chevy Chase DC on the Connecticut Ave side is a pedestrian-scale, vibrant neighborhood atmosphere shopping and dining area.  It’s success belies the tired refrain by Big Development and Greater Greater (Hog)Wash that successful commercial districts in DC require upzoning to build a lot taller and denser.[/quote]

That is hardly vibrant. Bad shopping, dirty, and nothing good to eat. The Politics and Prose block is better, but not a lot there. Much better food. Great community bookstore with events every night. [/quote]

We love CCDC, with the Avalon, the arcade and the human scale.  It lacks the corporate restaurant concepts that make other areas so much ... the same.  Macon is great and the other places are decent neighborhood serving eateries.  We look forward to the diner location reopening.[/quote]
