It was bought by some private equity firm in San Fran. With all the anti-government/anti-military sentiment down there, dropping the "G.I." is hardly surprising. How long before they stop selling guns and stock nothing but spandex, trail mix, and tampons?

There's Surplus Too on 1st and Lander in SoDo. Also, Nate's in Georgetown--if you don't mind the wall 'o firearms.

Joes, G.I. or otherwise, sucks. It is a prime example of a store that tries to do everything and ends up doing it all poorly. For instance, if you would like a staff member to help you with running shoes, you might as well go to Walmart for the level of attention and knowledge. So, in short, my hope can only be that the chain will burn to the ground when it changes its name. Oh, as for the rest of things that change, that is what things do. Change.
