RSS FeedSay It Ain’t So, Joe’s
The changes keep on coming at the corner of 10th & F streets NW. One Monday we noticed that longtime tourist shop Joe’s Souvenir Headquarters was closed, and the interior empty. We don’t know how long Joe’s has been in this location, but suspect it’s been a while. Joe’s has never been a focus for us, in fact only really featured on this blog back in early 2009 when a fire broke out on the second floor.
It would certainly be nice if such a marquee corner was less of an eyesore, but that block is such a tourist destination that these shops must be doing well. If you’re concerned about where to find your White House salt & pepper shakers,don’t worry; there are still 4 souvenier shops on the block.

Owner Douglas Jemal has plans to develop that corner so perhaps Joe’s departure is in preparation for work to (finally) begin.
