WHOA somehow I missed the sale of Culture House!! They shared June 18th:
“Hi there! We’ve got some news.
In June 2025, National Community Church purchased Culture House.
The church plans to continue offering Culture House as an art exhibit space and event venue, adding church and community events to the mix. The new owners also plan to retain the property’s iconic murals on the exterior and in the upstairs ballroom.
While multiple gallery directors have facilitated Culture House exhibitions, Cicie Sattarnilasskorn has been stewarding artists and projects within the space since January 2022.
In honor of all that has gone into Culture House so far, we will be running a retrospective of projects and programs in our stories now through June 25, 2025.
Everyone, show us your favorite moment at or in the space!
Artists and activators who have activated this space, show us something!”
Join the Night Court for a night of dancing and drinking faerie wine! The night starts with dance performances inspired by the A Court of Thorns and Roses series followed by a dance party amongst your new fae friends!
Buy your tickets here!

From MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department has identified a suspect in the fatal shooting that occurred early Saturday in the 1000 block of 14th Street, Southeast. The reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect has been increased thanks to contributions from our partners at the FBI Washington Field Office and U.S. Marshals Service.
On Saturday, July 5, 2025, at approximately 3:03 a.m., First District officers responded to the report of a shooting in the 1000 block of 14th Street, Southeast. Officers located a 3-year-old girl suffering a gunshot wound to the upper body. DC Fire and EMS responded to the scene and transported the girl to an area hospital, where she received treatment for critical injuries.
The preliminary investigation revealed that at least one suspect began discharging a firearm in the block, striking a parked vehicle where the girl was seated alongside family members.
On Monday, July 7, 2025, the victim succumbed to her injuries. The victim has been identified as 3-year-old Honesty Cheadle, of Southeast, DC. (more…)
