Social Safeway grand re-opening

Just back from the brand new "Social Safeway" in Georgetown (it's 24-hour now). They held its grand re-opening earlier in the day and starting with an invitation-only cocktail party last night, in a brand new building at the old site. I took pictures. (Yes, I know the photography is bad, but I was trying to be surreptitious and use my Blackberry.) Didn't get any pictures of the sushi bar, butcher case, or fishmonger case, because we were there after midnight and they had put all those things away for the day. This new store is in close competition with Dean & Delucca for having the biggest and best selection of very pricey gourmet foods in the District. The "normal" stuff is still Safeway-cheap, but they are carrying a lot of high end stuff in this store.
