Maybe that’s what Tour Guide meant in the comment section of our post a few weeks ago about Joe’s Souvenir shop closing. Tour Guide noted that we shouldn’t feel bad for Joe, he owns the other souvenir shops on what has become PQ’s souvenir row. Well we’re guessing Joe still owns this spot as well, the one at the corner of 10th & F, and that he’s just cleaning it up to match the brighter, nicer stores he’s opened in the surrounding block.
See those slats on the back wall? Those look to us to be the telltale supports you see in all our cleaner neighborhood souvenir shops. So our guess is that 1000 F st NW will soon be brighter and nicer, and will sell the same goods that made Joe’s Souvenir a favorite of the tourist bus crowds.

We were not suggesting that “Joe” owns the building, rather that he owns all of the souvenir businesses. We assume the spaces are all owned by Jamal and that they are leased to the shops.
Check out this week’s Washington Business Journal on the second page of the cover story of an architectural rendering of Doug Jemal’s plans for the site covering the NW quadrant of the block.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Not sure, but I think Douglas Development owns the corner building along with the others east of the alley on F Street and those south toward Bistor d’Oc; don’t remember how far south but definitely includes the Waffle shop.
