One more Georgetown fixture will soon be packing up its bags to leave Wisconsin Avenue. Commander Salamander, a clothing and accessories store on Wisconsin Avenue, will be closing by the end of the month without plans to move to another location, according to store management.

Commander Salamander joins 52 other businesses that will have either closed or moved to a different location within the last year, according to a report compiled by Georgetown Metropolitan.

If you wanted to dress in punk or new wave clothes, Commander Salamander was one of those places you shopped. Since the early 1980s, the little shop on Wisconsin Avenue is where you went when you needed cool sunglasses, a pair of safety-pinned bondage pants, glitter makeup or Doc Martens boots.
(WTOP, 2010, January 21)
While most of the 2009 business closings were smaller independent stores, established brands and businesses like American Eagle and Nathan’s shut down, too. On a brighter note, 22 stores also opened (or relocated) in 2009, among them Gore and Dean, Georgetown Cupcake, and Diesel.
(vox populi, 2010, January 20)
Judging from the three stores on Commander Salamander’s block of Wisconsin Avenue that are currently sporting “Going out of business” signs in their windows, which besides Commander Salamander include Milano and Hardware, 2010 does not look too promising for Georgetown businesses.
