We are lucky to have a new feature from one of my new favorite Instagram photographers, Sara from Long Walks DC. Sara writes:
“Today HIS Grooming (@hisgrooming) unveiled two new murals at Pennsylvania & 13th St SE honoring the late Representative John Lewis who was a client of the barber shop and lived in the neighborhood. The murals were created by artists Mark Garrett (@noirwar) and Dietrich Williams (@dietrichw). The larger of the two is titled

“Dear PoPville,
Saw your post about the huge piles of leaves and car fires. Troubling development.
Councilmember Allen posted the following warning on his Facebook feed:
Hill East neighbors (and folks elsewhere), I wanted to alert you and update on what we suspect to be multiple incidents of arson (I’ve seen video from neighbor’s cameras). Over the past few weeks, someone has been lighting piles of leaves on fire, most recently in the area around 15th and D St., SE last night. The fire has spread to cars parked along the street and done serious damage. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, as she kicked off DMV Black Restaurant Week, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced nearly $9 million in grants through the Food Access Fund to provide funding to food businesses to open new locations in Wards 7 and 8.

“We have an incredible amount of entrepreneurial talent and creativity in DC, especially in our restaurant and foodservice industries – it’s just not equally distributed or equally funded. The Food Access Grants are going to change that,” said Mayor Bowser. “With this $58 million fund, we can bring DC favorites like HalfSmoke that currently operate in some of our most popular corridors on the west side of the city and support them in opening new locations in Wards 7 and 8. We can also support popular spots that are already in Wards 7 and 8, like MLK Deli, and make sure they have the resources necessary to expand and reach more Washingtonians. We already know that we have residents in every part of our city who are eager to support local businesses; the Food Access Grants are not only delivering more food options to Wards 7 and 8, they’re delivering new opportunities to stay local and shop local.”
The Food Access Fund recipients include: (more…)
