So I don’t like how holidays get advertised earlier and earlier each year, with Christmas stuff going up now in some places. However, this I can get behind: egg nog for sale at Giant. Reminds me of being a little kid.
ANC1B, the Advisory Neighborhood Commission for southern Columbia Heights (map) meets tonight at 7 pm at the Reeves Center, 14th and U. Among other things, they’ll be looking at a plan for Justice Park, the delayed park at 14th and Euclid. Ground was broken more than a year ago and nothing has happened since. Here’s…
Saw this on the Ward 1 listserve, sounds like a nice even. Might be a way to get kids interested in gardening and plants. City Blossoms invites you this weekend to join us at our first Bulb Bash at Girard Children’s Community Garden (in Girard Playground, near 1480 Girard St NW). From 12-3 on Sunday,…
Looks like pet owners will have a new spot to go to pick up what their critters need: I saw this sign at 3303 11th Street NW, at Lamont right next to Arthur’s Grocery. If you can’t read it, it says “Mr. Larry’s Pet Supply Store, Coming Soon.” Not sure what the timeline is, but…

There were a lot of sightings, and it was a pretty impressive and huge creature. I found this Youtube…
Hopefully everybody voted! And now the results are in. No surprise, Vince Gray is the mayor, though write-in Fenty got about 20% of the vote, Jim Graham won the Ward 1 council seat, and Eleanor Holmes-Norton won another term as non-voting congress rep. Phil Mendelson and David Catania are still on the council, and NCH-endorsed…
Just got this email about some issues at the Mt. Rona Baptist Church polling place at 13th and Monroe. Anyone else had similar issues? My partner and I live within walking distance of St. Mona [Ed: Mt. Rona] Baptist Church in Columbia Heights (Ward 1). We both went to vote this morning. We both had…
In case you forgot, the general election is tomorrow! While the mayoral race is pretty much decided, especially since the write-in Fenty campaign never really got off the ground, there’s still a lot of competitive and important races on the ballot: at-large council, school board, advisory neighborhood commissioner, and an amendment on whether to have…
