PLEASE a real hardware store. It is killing me. The old City People's was fine! A bar on 19th would be nice, a pub or bar, but more a bar than a restaurant. |

Agreed: a REAL hardware store. Nearest one is now on 45th: Welch's is but a memory. City People's started off where the Country Doctor now is, moved to where the Post Office on 15th now is (had an upstairs as well), which is where I first discovered it, then moved over to the Walgren's site (which had been a down factory!). I've been praying for a Microsoft retire(e?) with a penchant for hardware. "make it so". AFT |

| A quality restaurant open for dinner - like Nishino, Etta's or the old (and now gone) Cassis. We'd go once a week. | |

"Let's save the North Hill Bakery from the N. Capitol Hill Mommie Mafia" What does this mean? Is the Bakery going away? Somebody explain this. I would like to ensure a constant supply of pudgy-fudgies and whole wheat cinnamon rolls. |

Another barber shop? What's wrong with Jim's? It's funny that you'd list a hobby shop, that's something I've been mulling over as well, given my current obsession with radio controlled cars. Better yet Hardware/general store - yes please! Blue C should open a joint on 15th. Decent, fast, inexpensive sushi. |

| latest anon, there's no PO I know of on 15th. Maybe Andrew is talking about some kind of mail processing facility which I think I've seen around here somewhere. The closest honest-to-gosh post office that I know about is 1463 E Republican. | |

Wandering around the 'hood today and looking a little more closely has revealed a few surprises. We have a few of things we want already. Who knew? For example, YES!, there is a place to mail packages etc just around the corner from Victrola, next to Jalisco on Republican -- That Shop Mailing Store. I'll write up that and some other surprises/reminders when I get some free time. (btw, thanks for all the cool ideas. neat-o to see so many commentS) |

| A small gym/fitness center. It would be nice to be able to walk somewhere to work out. The only alternatives in the area are Gold's (deteriorating) or Denali Fitness (spendy). | |

| Madison Park is a lot closer than 45th - and they have an honest-to-god old-fashioned family-run hardware store with a little bit of everything, plus they'll order stuff for you if they don't carry it. Sort of like the old City People's when it was just a funky storefront on 19th.. | |

A genuine Deli. Well, maybe not exactly like the ones I grew up with in Dorchester, but someplace you can get a good sanwich, maybe both Jewish and Italian coldcuts, light meals, ... call it I'ld call it Uncle Louies ... after an Uncle of mine who worked as a a mafiosa selling protection to kosher butchers. |

| Capitol needs a good hardware store!!! I'm not sure the heart of 15th is the right place, but that is the single thing that bugs me about living on the hill. The plumbing place on 12th doesn't cut it in the slightest. | |
