From an email:
“Takoma Station Tavern was the site of a great jazz scene in the 80’s and 90’s, when jazz luminaries like Wynton Marsalis graced the stage and local jazz heroes like Paul Carr and Marshall Keys were a regular presence. In the mid-90’s, the club changed formats to R&B and go-go. But great jazz is making a return to the club, located at 6916 4th St. NW in Takoma DC near the Takoma metro stop. (more…)

“what is this witchcraft?? Is the DMV moving away from just one inspection station? In Takoma DC”
I’m not seeing anything on the DMV’s website – anyone know what’s up? Could be a game changer!
Oof, thanks to Whitney for sending Sunday from: “3rd Street and Whittier Streets NW
clearly someone completely smashed into the front of this parked car and drove off. Totaled, no doubt, and also hit the two cars behind it because of the force.”
Thanks to Stephen for sending from Takoma DC:
“took a long time to start blooming and suffered several collapses, but looks super cheery now!
It was a volunteer, as well. One of our puny little sunflowers from the alley must have thrown some seeds over the wall. I’m hoping for more next year!”

“The Takoma Park Library located at 416 Cedar St. NW will close for a four-month refresh. The last day of service will be Saturday, June 22.
“The District investing more than half-a-billion dollars in creating world-class libraries over the last decade would mean little if we do not invest in the upkeep of our buildings,” said Richard Reyes-Gavilan, executive director of the DC Public Library. “As Takoma celebrates a decade of service since its renovation, this refresh ensures that the building remains a welcoming and inspiring place to visit. The work also allows us to respond to growing and changing community needs.”
The last day to place holds on items to pick up at Takoma Park Library will be Wednesday, June 12. (more…)
