Contruction at the Convention Center, originally uploaded by DCist Rob.

There hasn’t been much construction on ground-level retail spaces on the north end of the Washington Convention Center although several businesses had announced plans to open. Recently I walked by and saw this construction at a space where a jeweler is planning to open, and several doors down posted signs indicate a Mongolian BBQ has applied for a liquor license. However, the signs for a Old Dominion brew pub have disappeared, perhaps indicating the deal that was reported several places last spring has fallen through.
