Lane Bryant Opens: At 11:43 a.m., I passed by the new storefront on 14th Street NW in Columbia Heights. I counted two customers. One on her way out (empty handed) and another still working her way through the racks. Kind of a quiet grand opening. But hats off to all the employees who asked me if I needed anything!
More proof of gentrification? An Ashley Stewart recently closed in Adams Morgan. Now we have a Lane Bryant.

The Lane Bryant I'm familiar with caters to larger sized Black women. So would that mean that store is not proof of gentrification since its not exclusively "white" store?

I think the point is that Lane Bryant tends to carry nicer, pricier merch than Ashley Stewart...

I think Lane Bryant is postracial.
