Former Ward One Council Member Jim Graham’s breaks his self imposed silence on the LeDroit Park listserv:

“I have followed closely the actions and messages on the blizzard and its consequences by Mayor Bowser and Councilmember Nadeau. They are to be commended for all of what they are doing .

After 16 years of service as your councilmember, I intentionally stepped back these past 12 months. Some of you know I have other endeavors. I’m on the board of a homeless substance-abuse recovery program and I hope to be soon engaged with immigrant issues. Naturally I also plan to be engaged with the LGBT concerns. And I did start a successful adults-only business on Georgia Avenue.

It is all quite a change for me. Not having as much contact with Ward One friends has been the hardest part.

I now feel it is time for me to again engage , as a businessman and neighbor, with issues of concern to me in DC.

What I am about to say is obviously not for everyone~~~but i know there are many LGBTQ persons 21 and over who live in our area. Cabin fever is running very high. So I’m having a special NO admission charge on tomorrow Tuesday Jan 26 for those persons who may enjoy such entertainment. See www.rockharddc.com for details.

Stay warm~~and please help those who aren’t,

Bests
Jim Graham”

Books and Beer – doesn’t get much better than that!! Check it out – from The Midlands:

“Trent Allen, Robin Webb and Peyton Sherwood from the Kangaroo Boxing Club have partnered together again for a new project opening this spring. “The Midlands” will be a restaurant with a large outdoor beer garden in the Park View neighborhood at 3333 Georgia Ave NW. Patrons will have draft selections of greater than 15 and less than 30 taps, wine of the fermented grape variety, featuring red, white and pink. The menu will feature hand-crafted, gourmet, chef-driven, small-batch sandwiches from the future, that are totally not pretentious.”

Friday

A reader reports from the Bruce Monroe Community Garden:

“Friday: My lettuce is doing so well! It’s almost time to harvest it. Maybe just a couple more days.

Saturday

Saturday: Half my lettuce is gone! It’s been stolen! I should go home and grab a bag and then harvest the rest of the lettuce now. Or tomorrow.

20151227_161627
Sunday

Sunday: My lettuce is nearly ALL gone!!!! There is a lettuce thief! That is soo not cool. Wish I had returned on Saturday to harvest the rest myself. I was so looking forward to the fruits (veggies) of my labor. The trials and tribulations of an urban garden without a fence.”
