Recreation and recreation facilities play a big part in increasing the quality of life in Ward 8. If you have not kept up with DC political news, Councilmember Trayon White now has oversight of the Department of Parks and Recreation. This agency overseas all of the District recreation centers and parks. CM White has worked hard in securing more funding to build new recreation facilities in Ward 8. This is a big win for the community!<br />
<br />
While many focus on the traditional brick and mortar recreation facilities, for this blog posted I want to focus on an additional option I call “Open Recreation.” When I first moved to the District, I lived in the Trinidad neighborhood in Ward 5. Down the street from my house was the Joseph Cole Recreation Center. The city tore down the outdated facility and built a newer one in a larger space in another part of the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
In the old space, DPR built an open recreation space that did wonders for the neighborhood. It included a sports field, a toddler’s play ground and splash park, a pay area for older kids and a picnic area for families.<br />
<br />
I think this would be a great option for the area behind Ketcham Elementary School. It would keep an<br />

open green space, open to everyone in the community and add to vibrancy to the neighborhood.<br />
Building a brick and mortar recreation center would also be an option but I think it should be built in a different location.<br />
<br />
A better option for a recreation center is to build an all out sports, health and recreation facility at Q St SE. The space is large enough to build a multi-story facility that can include basketball and racquetball courts, a full service gym, a kids space, counseling centers, eateries, etc. I saw this type of facility at the <a href="http://www.pgsportsandlearn.com/1652/Sports-Learning-Complex" target="_blank">Prince Georges County Sports and Learning Complex</a>. This could be truly a signature center that could serve as a model for the rest of city. Q St SE would allow you the space to make it happen.<br />

This past weekend included another successful Anacostia Nip & Sip event! This was the 4th annual Nip & Sip in the Anacostia Historic District. The event is pot luck event where neighbors open up their homes to host 1 of 4 dinner courses that include Appetizers, Soup & Salads, Dinner and Desserts. After spending an hour at a host home, neighbors move to the next house for the next dinner course. The event is always a lot of fun and is a great chance for residents to get to know their fellow neighors. Below are some pics from this years event.<br />

If you have not heard by now, Uniontown Bar & Grill has closed. Yup, that is right, Closed.<br />
<br />
In talking with the former owner, he said that he signed over his lease to Chase Bank. There have been some fond memories of that place. I remember, the Historic Anacostia Block Association and <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://reeldc.org/" target="_blank">River East Emerging Leaders (reel)</a> </span>celebrating the original grand opening and then the reopening years later.<br />
<br />
So we are loosing a restaurant, but gaining a new banking partner.<br />
<br />
If you have kept up with the news, <a href="https://dc.curbed.com/2017/9/26/16366010/jpmorgan-anacostia-11th-street-bridge-park-gentrification" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">JPMorgan Chase & Co is investing heavily in Anacostia</span></a>. Other than just giving their money, they want to have a greater presence in the community. So they will be opening a branch in the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
Not sure if there will be time to have a going away party for Uniontown. Will keep you posted. Below is a pic from the past to remind everyone of the history of the building.<br />

We all pass by storm drains every day and forget they are a
fast lane for our urban storm water directly into the Anacostia River. Unfortunately,
some use these drains as sort of a trashcan, sweeping trash and debris into
them thinking they will never to be seen again. This is not the case.<br />
<br />
This
trash eventually ends up in the Anacostia River. One of the many reasons why the River is polluted preventing us from fishing, swimming or enjoying other water activities is because of this trash. Some even say that the health of the River is tied directly to the health of the community it is named after. This past week was a perfect example. It rained
every day and the litter you saw on the street was swept away by the rain water
into the drain. See the video below.<br />

Earlier this year the <a href="https://www.historicanacostia.org/" target="_blank">Historic Anacostia Block Association</a> partnered with the <a href="https://www.anacostiaws.org/" target="_blank">Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS)</a> in their Storm Water Drain Mural project. The goal of the project is to paint murals on the drains to hopefully make people think twice about littering and also bring awareness to the importance of a clean river. The AWS asked local artist to submit renderings. Community members served as the judges and picked the best 8 to be painted on the drains. We are happy to report we selected several Ward 8 residents as winners.<br />
<br />
Take a look at the newly painted drains below.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The 3rd Annual Anacostia Nip & Sip was a grand success! Big shout out to Mrs. Twyla Alston who was the brain child for this event and has kept it going for the past three years. If you've never been the event <span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">as an informal way for neighbors to get to know each other. Essentially, residents open up their homes for one hour and serve a dinner course. After one hour, the participants will walk to another neighbors home for the next course. We ended the night at the Art-Drelane Cafe at the Anacostia Arts Center for dessert.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: #fefdfa;" /><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;">It is a great way to meet new residents, eat great food and of course, enjoy the neighborhood.</span></span><br />

There is plenty of anticipation regarding the Anacostia Gateway redevelopment project. The community has been pushing for the right kind of development for years, and it seems like we are steps closer with this one. DHCD recently held a property surplus hearing and the Menkiti Group held a Q&A session regarding the vision for the site. A potential retailer is a small grocery store called, Good Foods Market. A grocery in downtown Anacostia is needed but it seemed no one knew who they were.<br />
<br />
I stopped by their store on Rhode Island Ave NE last week to check it out to get an idea on what they were about. Walking away, I feel this is perfect fit for the site. It truly is a neighborhood grocer and fits within the small town feel of the Anacostia Historic District. I had a great conversation with the store operator to learn more about the Market. She informed me the Market is a mission driven grocery dedicated to developing retail solutions that work in, and for, food desert communities. They are not there to replace the Safeway or Giant, but more of a spot were you can run in grab milk and bread and run out. <br />
<br />
Check out some of the pics below. Would love to get your thoughts.<br />

<br />
A friend recently posted on facebook that her and her husband were looking to move to a new home for their growing family and asked her facebook friends for recommendations on neighborhoods they should consider. She said she was considering 4 neighborhoods. Unfortunately, none were listed EoTR (that's for another blog post - why do people start in Ward 8 and then move).<br />
<br />
So I thought about some of my favorite homes in Ward 8. Not sure who lives in these, but I always admire the charm and character of each one as I drive by. Let me know your thoughts.<br />
<br />
Let's start with my favorite neighborhood...<br />

Earlier this summer, residents in the Anacostia Historic
District participated in a roundtable hearing regarding development plans in
our neighborhood. One of the things that came out of the hearing was
legislation introduced by Councilmember Phil Mendelson. The legislation called
for the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to <b>transfer ownership
of 4 historic properties</b> in its inventory to the L'Enfant Trust, a local non-profit that
specializes in historic property restoration.</div>

___________________________________________________________________________<br />
<br />
This past weekend, was the 2nd Annual <b>"Anacostia Nip & Sip."</b> Twyla Alston, a resident in the Anacostia Historic District started the event last year as an informal way for neighbors to get to know each other. Essentially, residents open up their homes for one hour and serve a dinner course. After one hour, the participants will walk to another neighbors home for the next course. We ended the night at the Art-Drelane Cafe at the Anacostia Arts Center for dessert.<br />
<br />
It is a great way to meet new residents, eat great food and of course, enjoy the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
Below are a few pics of the great event. Hope to see more people next year!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday was a great day for Ward 8. We celebrated the opening
of Turning Natural, a juice bar on MLK Ave. In addition to juices and
smoothies, they also serve salads, veggie patties and more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What made the opening even more special is that the owner,
Jerri Evans is actually from Anacostia. She grew up on the 16<sup>th</sup> and
Good Hope Rd. The business was founded by her mom to help fight breast
cancer by promoting a healthier lifestyle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pizza!Looking for a fresh slice of pizza? Now you can stop on Good Hope Rd at the new Little Caesar's Pizza that opened next to 7-11. I stopped in the other day to welcome the new franchise owner. Pizza's, buffalo wings and cheesy sticks are made in house and are ready for your to pick up. Back in the day you used to order made to order slices, but now you have to buy the whole pizza pie. You can get a pepperoni for under $7...not bad.<br />
<br />
Be sure to stop by the ribbon cutting ceremony this Saturday.<br />

Did you notice something different on Good Hope Rd. and MLK
Ave? Next time you are driving or walking down the street look a little closer
and you will notice the Anacostia Heritage Trail signs have been installed! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yup, it took us nearly 10 years, but we finally did it! It was an effort that
began with the Anacostia Main Street organization and later picked up by the Historic
Anacostia Block Association and the Anacostia Coordinating Council.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The signs look great! There are 20 signs installed that give
a detailed history of the neighborhood. We are planning a ribbon cutting
ceremony in July. If you are interested in helping join us on Thursday June
4<sup>th</sup> at 6:30pm at 1800 MLK Ave for the planning meeting. </div>

Congratulations to
the Greater Anacostia Neighborhoods and all the people who helped with the
process! Of course, a special thanks to <a href="https://www.culturaltourismdc.org/portal/" target="_blank">Cultural Tourism DC</a> for leading the way and staying the course to get this done!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone who has ever run for public office knows once you
decide to run, one of the first things to determine are your campaign colors.
Many times campaign colors will reflect a candidates personality or just clever
campaign strategy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With 12 people running it looks like all the primary colors
have been taken. We can talk all day about who we think will the Ward 8 City Council
seat on April 28<sup>th</sup>, but for today let’s see who wins for best
campaign yard sign. Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is
associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as
passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense color. It
enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood
pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and
fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate
courage. It is a color found in many national flags.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.</span></div>

area to build a street harassment Washington, DC. CASS recently announced it was expanding its popular RightRides DC program to wards 7 and 8. The project, which is currently in its pilot phase, is done on a quarterly basis on specific dates. The next service date will be March 27.<br />
<br />
First launched on Halloween 2014, RightRides DC is a non-profit service that provides free, safe, late-night rides home for women, LGBTQ and gender non-conforming people (“Riders”). These populations are most vulnerable to experiencing sexual harassment and assault in public spaces. The RightRides DC program is possible because of the hard work of CASS volunteers—Drivers, Navigators, and Dispatchers, as well as a partnership with Zipcar, who donates driving time in the cars CASS uses. To participate in Right Rides, volunteers complete a training, must pass a background check, and then set out as a driver-navigator team in Zipcar provided vehicles.<br />
<br />
On March 27, riders in D.C. can call or text this number 202-556-4232 from 12 midnight to 3:30 AM to receive a free, safe ride home from CASS volunteers. The program is 100% volunteer-run and depend on volunteers, grants, donations and sponsorships to make this service possible. Riders must both be picked up and dropped off/going home within Washington, DC. For more information, check CASS' web site at: http://www.collectiveactiondc.org/programs/rightridesdc/<br />
