http://wotbn.net/ellwood-thompsons-is-expanding-to-dc/ News from the Carytown and Museum District areas Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:28:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 http://wotbn.net/ellwood-thompsons-is-expanding-to-dc/#comment-36189 Gus Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:46:24 +0000 http://wotbn.net/?p=946#comment-36189 I'm a little bit peeved about this. Why is ET expanding into DC before expanding across Richmond? I just moved down here from Arlington, so I can assure you: the District is already bursting at the seams with retail options, including two local organic market chains (MOM and Yes!) and dozens and dozens of Whole Foods, TJs, and Wegmans. On the other hand, this city is shockingly underserved when it comes to neighborhood retail. How about the East End? Westover Hills? Manchester? I live in the Museum District, so I'm happy to have three (!) supermarkets in my neighborhood, but come on. This is ridiculous. The rest of the city needs to buy groceries, too.
