The District is trading open-house signs for sparklers this Fourth of July weekend, and with only 57 open houses on the calendar citywide, the holiday slowdown makes for a low-key chance to tour at your own pace.

Federal Government

From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:

“After reading recent reporting indicating that the Trump Administration plans to install permanent fencing around Lafayette Square, the public park in front of the White House, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced her intention to introduce a bill to prohibit permanent fencing at the park.

“Lafayette Square belongs to the people, not to the president. This bill is about keeping faith in the idea that democracy works best in the open, where the First Amendment protects citizens’ rights to assemble, speak, and be seen and heard by their government,” Norton said. “While I understand the importance of protecting the White House, it’s already surrounded by a 13-foot-high fence. We can and must maintain our commitment to security without sacrificing public access by using the least restrictive means necessary to address security concerns. Just as I oppose permanent fencing at the Capitol and the Supreme Court, I oppose turning Lafayette Square into another restricted zone separated from the public by intimidating barriers. (more…)


Brightwood

“Dear PoPville,

A very, very warm welcome to new DC resident Colin O’Connor. Took the fine gentleman on his first ride around Brightwood. He sniffed a lot of fresh city air and I think he’d be happy to do it again!”
