A change.org petition says:
“DCPS has announced plans to modernize our beloved John Eaton School that has served the local community and broader city for more than 100 years. To complete this important project, $55 million of taxpayer dollars have been allocated, and planning has been underway since 2017. However, there have been some serious missteps with the process. The community has not been fully engaged and current feasibility plans are flawed and ignore community input.
As a result, a coalition of unified Eaton parents and neighbors have joined together to ensure Eaton remains the neighborhood jewel that it has been for the last century – not a “big box” school as shown in some recent plans. (more…)

“Shut Happens. It’s True.” When I walked by on Sunday it appeared to be a utility issue. Having just eaten a delicious meal there on Saturday night, my prayers remain strong for a speedy resolution. Please join me in wishing the same.

Saturday was indeed the day that Streets Market opened in the old Brookville space. I think even the old school service lane loving obstructionists will love it – a true feat!! Enjoy.

Jennifer reports:
“signage up for Streets Market in Cleveland Park. Spoke with an employee entering store who said they will open on Monday, June 11. He let me peek in: bright & clean with freezers & shelves already stocked. Looking good!”
And as you can see in the photo above, they’ll also be selling beer and wine.
Ed. Note: I hear they could be soft opening as early as this weekend!
Gonna take a minute to get used to the new signage. RIP Brookville. (more…)

The placard posted outside Brookville for the coming Street Market says:
“A new Retailer’s Class B full service grocery store with a Tasting Permit.”
With hours listed as Sunday through Saturday 7am – 11pm.
Justin notes:
“This is sort of interesting.. Brookville never had a license to sell any sort of alcohol. In fact, 5 years ago the only place to get liquor on the entire block was Cleveland Park Wine & Spirits, and now there are no less than 4 places (Weygandt, Yes!, Walgreens.)”
Ed. Note: Yes! and Walgreens also sell beer and wine, not spirits.
