Help Jose Antonio Salinas Stay in Georgetown

Jose Antonio Salinas is the owner of the stand at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Dumbarton Street. He has been a fixture in Georgetown for the past 16 years. Salinas not only sells sunglasses, hats, scarves, umbrellas and other items, but keeps an eye on the street and knows all the neighbors. He has stopped several crimes and supplies some of the charm and character of our town. With the departure of Five Guys Hamburgers at Wisconsin Avenue and arrival of &Pizza, Salinas has been told to leave by April 25.
