Textile Museum Wasn’t Kidding (421 7th St NW)

What exactly is featured in the current Textile museum?

Demand for 2 branches of a Textile Museum, yet no grocery store……..interesting

A textile musuem?!?!?! WTF!!

The Textile Museum is actually pretty interesting– don’t knock it ’till you’ve seen it!

I am sure its thrilling…where the heck is our Trader Joe’s?

DCist mentions the Textile opening and bloggers comments from this blog about the lack of a grocery store in the face of the Textile Museum opening. Actually, it’s been said before, but I will say it again: Safeway is opening nearby next year and the grocery problem will be solved for half, if not more, of Penn Quarter’s residents. I say bring on the Textile Museum!

I agree. I thought it sounded boring until I went to their current location in Dupont. It was actually really nice, and very interesting. They have some great art exhibits. I’d take that over a “crime and punishment museum” anyday.

the Textile Museum is a perfectly great use of the space. it’s a grade A museum that will enhance life in the ‘hood IMHO.

look forward to the Safeway also.
