3300 block of Connecticut Ave, NW
My dear friends, this is your hour. This is not victory of a party or of any class. It’s a victory of the great Cleveland Park neighborhood as a whole. We were the first, in this ancient neighborhood, to draw the “sword” against poor urban planning. After a while we were left all alone against the most tremendous NIMBY power that has been seen. We were mostly alone for over ten years. I say that in the long years to come not only will the people of this neighborhood but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we’ve done and they will say “do not despair, do not yield to terrible urban planning.”
You asked, what was our aim? We answered in one word: Victory. It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all ridiculous signage, however long and hard the road proved to be; for without victory, there is no vibrant neighborhood.
Thanks to ANC Commissioner Tammy Gordon, ANC3C06 for sending the great news Friday:
“I’m delighted to report that DDOT took the neighborhood recommendation to keep the Cleveland Park service lane closed to cars and open to pedestrians, restaurant patios and our farmers market pop ups.”
Victory also posted on Nanny’s front window:
Stay tuned for more on coming activations!!

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
