Swoop Building Grand Opening

When developer J Dapper purchased the Huntridge Center in 2016, it wasn’t much to look at—a 60-year-old strip mall with faded paint, a boarded-up Farm Basket, an underlit parking lot and the Huntridge Tavern, one of this city’s best-preserved smoky dive bars.

Immediately Dapper went to work punching it up, revamping the structures into mid-century charmers, adding new tenants to underused spaces, commissioning a 1960s-style neon sign from Yesco and replacing the demolished Farm Basket with a 4,000-square-foot, Googie-styled building with a distinctive swooping roof, designed by local architectural firm Bunnyfish.

That addition—now occupied by Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop and Roberto’s Tacos—spearheads the February 20“Grand Reopening” of Huntridge Center, 1122 S. Maryland Parkway, from 4:30-7:30 p.m.

Dapper, Mayor Carolyn Goodman, Rep. Dina Titus and City Councilwoman Olivia Diaz will preside over a neighborhood bash featuring the Rock ’n’ Roll Mariachis, a live DJ, a photo bus, a peek at the new Garrison barbershop and more.

Caprotti’s will provide free Bobbie subs; Roberto’s is offering free chicken tacos (limit of 3) or one free bean and cheese burrito; Wingstop will give you five free boneless wings with any wing purchase; and Huntridge Tavern, the reason for the season, is serving up $1 beers. Viva Huntridge!
