"Max Zuckerman named his Georgia Avenue coffee shop and bar after Colony Flowers, a flower shop his grandparents owned on the same street. But going forward, Colony Club will soon have a new name, DCist explains. 'Over the years we’ve been asked about the Colony Club name and what it means,' Tuckerman wrote on Instagram. 'Several customers expressed concern about using the word ‘colony,’ pointing to its very negative associations with colonialism, and further connecting that definition with the in-progress gentrification of the neighborhood.'" - Adele Chapin
