Also closing up shop

The day we reported Bikes & Brew’s impending demise, we got a note saying Backstage Thrift also is closing. Couldn’t verify it ourselves at the time but now we’ve received another report and photographic proof. Reader “Luckie,” who sent these photos, says the shopkeeper told her they’re closing their Capitol Hill location too and will continue the 50% off “going out of business” sale through month’s end:

I also heard Legends Sports bar is also closing down sometime soon.

I heard that one of the Huling brothers owns the land that Legends is on (and the land where the oil company and furniture store used to be) and that Legends’ lease was up and they are being asked to leave. Sounds like some new development might be on the horizon. Can anyone guess what it might be???

Magic, you got about 33 1/3rd% of getting the right answer there.

I’m sad about Backstage. I love that place!

I prefer a strip club right were legends is at.

I wonder if rents have gone up around the Junction and are part of the reason that Backstage Thrift and Bikes & Brew are leaving, or if it’s just a coincidence.
