Dorchester Market Forced to Close
The Dorchester Market, the once well-stocked bodega in the basement of the Dorchester House apartments at 2480 16th Street NW in Adams Morgan, will be no more come week's end. Residents of the building and the local area who frequent the shop may have noticed the recent precipitous drop in the restocking of goods: the gradually emptying freezer case, the large blank spots on the shelves, and finally, a couple of weeks ago, the disappearance of every magazine & newspaper from the counter newsstand. Those who guessed it couldn't bode well were right: last week, two-for-one specials started popping up, and then a simple, "Going out of business. Everything must go," sign on the doors indicated that the end was indeed nigh.
