Politics and Prose expansion now includes Connecticut Ave. store

November 9, 2017 by FHC

Politics and Prose is expanding. A branch opened in October at The Wharf development in southwest DC. Another is planned for Union Market, though its opening has been pushed to early 2018.

And at the independent bookstore’s flagship location at 5015 Connecticut Avenue, owners Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine say, “[t]he recent closing of Regal Custom Cleaners next to P&P has opened the way for a further expansion of the bookstore.”

What will going in the new space? Sale books and another checkout desk. Offices for staff currently working out of a nearby condo. And “the downstairs space now occupied by sale books will be transformed into a classroom for P&P’s growing schedule of literary classes.”

“We remain deeply rooted on Connecticut Avenue NW even as we embark on new ventures in two other dynamic areas of the city,” Graham and Muscatine write.

Politics and Prose opened in 1984 at 5010 Connecticut Avenue and moved across the street to larger digs at 5015 Connecticut in 1989.
