I went over there today for the first time in a while and it seems like so many things have closed. the gap was closed, and a bunch of other stores along wisconsin. then the mall there, was like a ghost town. 95% everything closed. it was kind of depressing.

I cannot even remember the last time I was over there. 8 years perhaps.
I dont know. Its has been a very long time.
Compared to what it used to be, yes it is very dead.
The sky high store rents dont help either.
noticed the same thing...went around Christmas, my favorite time of the year, and a lot of stores were shut down, especially inside the mall. The streets seemed less crowded...Georgetown Cupcake still had a line down the block though!
I read online that they were supposed to be renovating the space, which has been a dead spot on M Street for a while. There has been talk of a Target going into the space and/ or a Bloomingdale's. There is also rumor that Barnes & Noble is going to return to M Street this summer. We'll have to wait and see.

A Target in Georgetown? Yup, the neighborhood has changed.
The whole area is long in the tooth as far as shopping is concerned, not to mention the crowd today is different than the crowd that used to occupy Georgetown back in its heyday. DC’s transient population isn’t going to complement high rent costs with overpriced boujie apparel, and yuppies wouldn’t buy most of the crap anyway.

Yes there is lot of false advertising out there about the shopping options in this entire area. Beware.
