Another Long Time Cleveland Park Shop Leaving? “push for expensive apartments and “new restaurant” gentrification & overdevelopment”

Thanks to Sarah for sending:

“Spotted this sign in the window of Frame Mart Gallery.. seems like they are moving? Or maybe just closing? Their website refers to losing their lease but doesn’t say where they are moving, and they ask customers to “visit us while we are still here… as our ’50 years in one location’ but closing (?) anniversary retail sale is ongoing!”

Their website says:

While Northwest infrastructure crumbles (as the current mayor, ward representative and city council continue their push for expensive apartments and “new restaurant” gentrification & overdevelopment into the N.E., S.E., & S.W. quadrants),

Frame Mart Gallery steadfastly continues to be a one-of-a-kind, 2nd-generation-owned & operated family business rarity in the slowly eroding retail & service streetscape of Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. !”

Ed. Note: If they do leave, they’ll follow the recent closings of Wake Up Little Suzie and the Artisan lamp shop.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
