Thanks to Wendy (and Gordon) for sending:

“FYI, one of (if not) the last Staples closing in DC. Downtown, 12/H Streets closing Jan. 10. Going to replaced with a WaaaaaaWaaaaaa. No more last minute office supply runs.”
....

I'm pretty sure I've been in that one.

I just checked Google street view. I've unquestionably been in that one. I've walked past it going from Metro Center to meetings I attend about once a month. There's a Blick art supply store in the next block.

1. I've definitely bought office supplies from there

there just aren't many options for that around here anymore. I'd have to go to Wal-mart or get stuff online from Amazon.

Thanks Romney

2. Walk by it all the time.

Can’t remember the last time I walked in to it though
