Clover

On Connecticut Avenue between Nebraska and Fessenden, across the street from Marvelous Market and Politics & Prose, there was a lesser known convenience store called Clover Market. The store recently shut its doors for good, but many residents of the Forest Hills and Chevy Chase neighborhoods will not soon forget it.

I worked at Clover for three-plus years back when it was run by Joseph Kang. Before that, a man named Sam owned it and, as I’ve been told, he and his butcher Jim were a huge draw, much like the French-style oven of Marvelous Market and the amazing selection of books and series of great visiting authors at P&P.

Kids were my biggest customers. Some kids coming to the store after school didn’t have money. All kids like to have candy, so I gave them free candy.
