From Rock Creek Conservancy:
“The gates to the Carter Barron Amphitheater will swing open to welcome audiences for three vibrant nights of music this summer.

Summer in the Parks creates a unique opportunity for DC’s residents to peer beyond the gates into the historic venue. The sounds of DC will brighten the stage for just three nights, including the legendary JazzDC All-Stars, Sylver Logan Sharp, Black Alley, and Chester Burke Jr. & Company. (more…)

“ROUTES AND ROOT A Modern Bar & Eatery
Bringing Flavor, Culture, and Connection Back to Kennedy Street NW DC”

“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what the scoop is on the fate of the Rock Creek Tennis Center? I was playing there and learned that the management contract expired on Saturday 2/28 with no new contract in sight. This means that as of Sunday, March 1, all classes and clinics are canceled; coaches and contractors lose their jobs; and court access is suspended. At least that’s what the staff told me.
