Hardware In The ‘Hood

Posted by pqresident
June 27, 2008

We wanted to be sure that it was a “go” before putting up this brief but the tips sent to the PQ Living mailbag combined with the press release on the Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District (MVT CID) website (that’s a mouthful!) confirms it. 5th Street Hardware will be opening soon at 1055 5th Street, NW, and it will have the distinction of being the first CityVista retailer to open their doors to the public.

Other blog coverage can be found here and here.

Congrats 5th Street and welcome to downtown! We’ve been waiting for you!

This will be nice. I’d giving up on trying to find parking for their Logan store.

Also in development news, Washington Business Journal is reporting that (believe it or not) hope is still alive for a Balducci’s on 7th Street.

Great news for the neighborhood! (Almost as good as Platinum closing)

Best of all, the owners Marc and Gina are bona-fide Penn Quarter residents!

Also, my husband and I went to City Vista this afternoon to check on the progress of our condo, and they said that Safeway has set an opening date of September 16. That will just about coincide with our settlement date over there…like many fellow residents, I can’t wait for this to finally come to our neighborhood!

Yea, …….no more schleping furnace filters on the Red line

thanks for the update Kimberly.

Thanks for the plug! 5th Street Ace Hardware officially opened today. We can’t wait for everyone in PQ to come by and meet us. We’re also pet friendly so bring your furry friends by on a daily walk.

If there are products that we don’t have – that you wish we did – please let us know.

I stopped by yesterday after work. The store looks great, and is pretty well stocked. The employees are still learning their way around, but they’re quite happy and enthusiastic. Thumbs up!
