Patrick and I are happy to announce our 2nd Annual Toys for Tots Toy Drive! We started last year as a small gathering at our home in Chancellor’s Row to provide an opportunity to meet the new Chancellor’s Row neighbors. It was a fun event, and we collected over 60 toys for donation.
This year we are teaming up with the Brookland Artspace Lofts!
Come out and celebrate, meet your neighbors and help bring joy to the children of Washington DC! Please dress casual/festive!
There will be an open bar (beer, wine, punch, and soft drinks) with light fare. Local artists and musicians will be showing their artwork and entertaining. Please bring a new, unwrapped toy which will be collected for the children of Washington DC.

From WMATA:
“The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has announced that, for the first time in seven years, it is releasing a multi-site solicitation of properties for development into transit-oriented projects.
As the Washington region continues to grow, transit-oriented projects are increasingly attractive to both residents and businesses as a way of managing traffic congestion and improving quality of life for residents and employees. WMATA is planning to leverage this interest, along with favorable market conditions, to offer five developments sites.
WMATA issued requests for proposals for the following properties:
Brookland-CUA
Fort Totten
Navy Yard (Chiller Plant)
Grosvenor-Strathmore
Morgan Boulevard
“These properties present excellent development opportunities,” said Metro General Manager and CEO, Richard Sarles. “The interest that has already been expressed in these sites is an indication of the crucial role Metro is playing in the growth of the region.”
WMATA is already a national leader among transit agencies in the field of private sector development on transit properties, what the industry calls “joint development.” Some two dozen projects have already been successfully completed in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, and several more are underway.
WMATA will be looking for quality developments with a focus on safe, walkable and attractive communities that work well with existing transit service. These projects will help achieve WMATA’s Momentum Strategic Plan of ensuring financial stability by generating increased ridership and rental income for Metro, and our goal of improving regional mobility and connecting communities.
Solicitations are posted online at wmata.com/realestate and will also be publicized through real estate organizations and trade publications.”

Last Friday we noted that the renovations at Brookland’s Finest were looking good. Now even more good news, despite being protested by the ANC they have received their liquor license. @barredindc tweeted the good news late last night:
“BREAKING NEWS: Brookland’s Finest (@Blandsfinest) Granted Liquor License”
They also note a tweet from Brookland’s Finest about a possible opening date:
“Maybe Dec 1. Big maybe.”
