A couple of updates on the first phase of Art Place at Fort Totten. T-Mobile is open at Art Place, located at 5210 South Dakota Avenue NE. Store hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 am-8:00 pm; Saturday 10:00 am-7:00 pm; and Sunday 12:00 pm-6:00 pm.
I have also gotten a lot of questions about the gym and when it will open. As noted individually to some readers, there really is not an update to provide since our last one. The developer is in late-stage negotiations with an operator. No word on when it will open. Sorry I cannot be the bearer of better news. I know residents are anxious for a neighborhood gym.
Next Stop...Riggs Park 
I hope the developer reads this website, and knows that many residents in adjacent neighborhoods can’t wait for this gym. I live in Petworth, as do many of my friends, and we’re eagerly awaiting this gym’s announcement and opening. At the moment, I’m schlepping to the Planet Fitness in Ivy City several times a week. I end up doing grocery shopping over there too (at the Mom’s Organic). I can’t wait to pop over to the Modern Phase I and Phase II for the same routine in the future.
