The Market Report

Giant Food Opened: ca. 2012 Previous Tenants:  none Location:  300 H St NE, Washington, DC Photographed:  June 2019 Contributor:  Alex D. Our contributor Alex D., who lived for a while in this neighborhood of Washington DC, shows us a few pictures of what was her local store when she was here. The store is located right behind Washington DC's Union Station, and about 3/4 of a mile northeast of the Capitol Building. With this small look inside, we see that it's a rather unremarkable version of this decor package, which would've been installed when the store opened around 2012. The store may have been renovated with the newer decor package I mentioned at Seven Corners , but I can't tell for sure. Looks like a nice polished concrete floor but this is a pretty flat version of the decor with a very bland ceiling. Well, that wraps up our rather short look at the DC area and tomorrow we have an even shorter look at the Baltimore area, with one store outside of the city her...

  We are continuing our northbound trek from Charleston, South Carolina to [redacted], Maine (ooh, did I leak confidential future plans??) by making a few stops in the DC and Baltimore areas! Now I must admit that it's been quite some time since I was last in these areas myself, and I don't have a lot of grocery stores photographed in this region myself. So this group is interesting in that it's entirely made up of contributor-submitted posts! In fact, the bulk of the pictures in the DC suburbs that we'll start with come to us courtesy of, um, my former roommate's girlfriend's best friend's cousin. No, I'm not exaggerating. We'll be spending a few days in the western and southern suburbs of Washington DC, moving from west to east passing through McLean, Arlington, Falls Church, Bailey's Crossroads, and Alexandria, VA, , then making a single stop in DC itself, before jumping up to a southwestern suburb of Baltimore. And then we're on to Pennsy...

It's The Market Report's second venture into the nation's capitol to see a supermarket. Okay, both of the stores were photographed at the same time (even on the same day, I believe), but somehow this one kind of got lost in my flash drive. Today is a simple one -- a Safeway in the northwestern quadrant of the city. Interestingly enough, it fronts right onto the street and only has an underground parking garage. The store looks pretty nice, and on the inside , it has the Lifestyle decor. It's at 1747 Columbia Rd NW, Washington, DC. Photographed October 2016

Here's a quick look at a former Giant Food supermarket in a small shopping center in Washington DC, located on Massatuchetts -- uh, I mean, Massachusetts -- Avenue NW (start the video at 6:10, or watch the whole thing if you like Merrie Melodies!). The store is now a CVS and is located at 4851 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington DC. As a matter of fact, I had initially thought this might have been a modified Grand Union, due to the slanted roof and the arches along the facade, but it was actually a Giant Food.
