TONIGHT: Shop Late on 14th and U Streets

Tonight is Third Thursday for the members of the MidCity Business Association in the 14th and U Street corridors. Every third Thursday of the month, several dozen shops and galleries are open until 9 p.m. with sales and special offerings. A full listing is below the fold.

For all you young hipsters and newcomers in the hood, be thankful that you now have numerous great stores in the area. Trust me: it was not always this way. Besides, if you want locally owned retail, you have to support your local businesses.

Also, be sure to read the post yesterday at 14th & U, “Go mama go! to close- What does that say about the future of 14th Street retail?” For those of us who have been here awhile, the closing of each of these retailers can be a bit traumatic. The owners (and long-time employees) invested a great deal of their lives into these businesses.
