signs of summer : everything closes

Signsofsummer S

In addition to the butcher-papered windows at the old Rainbow Grocery, the arrival of summer signals a whole list of businesses shutting their doors forever on Capitol Hill.

Clockwise, from top left: After three years of selling indie fashion on Olive Way, the Sweatshop called it quits this week even after Thursday Styles tried turning people onto fashionable boxer briefs. Major recent renovations weren’t enough to keep the giant fluorescent Wing Dome sign spinning either. POWHATters hungry for wings will have to look elsewhere in the neighborhood unless they’re willing to venture to the upper reaches of Greenwood for their fix. Finally, a shocker to end all shockers — Africa Mama’s going out of business sale actually was a going out of business sale. Their storefront has now been vacated, leaving Broadway surprisingly devoid of African import goods.
