a) You spelled her name/the web site name wrong, it’s Joynt, not Jyont (although the link still works).

b) Generally when you link to someone’s personal blog as a “source,” you might want to provide SOME indication of who the person is, and why their opinion is supposed to be credible. A clause like, “Long-time Washington journalist and former owner of Georgetown restaurant Nathan’s,” would have given us a lot more context as to why we should be at all interested in Mrs. Joynt’s opinions on the issue.

You can’t comment on that CarolJyont.com Web site, but I have disagree with her premise that there aren’t people going to Georgetown. It’s got the most retail foot traffic of any place in the city, as far as I can tell. I’m sure the economy is not helping things and maybe retailers like American Eagle are not a good demographic fit. But you’ll see the same chains in popular urban hubs in every city in the country. Georgetown could be any street in NYC and retailers there are pulling out too.
