Not exactly sure how a Georgetown BID garbage can ends up in Petworth but I’ll take it. It’s on Georgia Ave not far from Qualia coffee.

“The DCCX cyclocross bike race takes place this Sunday, October 20th at the Armed Forces Retirement Home (Rock Creek Church Road at Upshur St, NW). With over 700 racers already registered, DCCX will once again be one of the biggest cyclocross races in the country.
The day of racing begins at 8:15am and concludes with a “Rookie” race at 5:15pm. The course is centered around the fish pond on the lower grounds of the Soldier’s Home. It is a great course for spectators as racers are visible from almost any point on the course. There will also be a kids race course available throughout the day.
Come on out and enjoy food from Baja Fresh, PORC mobile, the DC Dutch Club as well as fresh coffee from Petworth’s own Qualia Coffee. Staples Corner Liquors, based in Crofton, Md., will be on site serving beer from Oskar Blues brewery.
Raleigh bicycles has donated a pro level Raleigh RXC Pro Disc cyclocross frameset (MSRP $2,000) which will be raffled off in the afternoon. Raffle tickets will be $5 and can be purchased at the race. Proceeds from the raffle and from DCCX will be donated to Friends of the Soldier’s Home, a neighborhood group that works to bring the Soldier’s Home residents together with the surrounding community.
Families and dogs are welcome. Dogs must be leashed. Free parking is available, but will be limited. Walking or biking onto the grounds is recommended. The weather looks to be sunny and in the mid-60s. Should be a beautiful day of bike racing and fun.
DCCX is organized by DCMTB, Washington DC’s only mountain bike team. We hope to see you on Sunday.”

Lots of folks have been asking for updates on the new restaurant Homestead, from the owners of the Blaguard, coming to 3911 Georgia Ave, NW.
Here’s an update from the owners:
“Things are moving along nicely. We are under construction at the Homestead. Demo and all construction drawings are complete. At this point we are just waiting for an approval from the city to start building the addition to the back yard. The most complex parts of this project involve converting the residential building to commercial code and the rear addition, both of which require extensive review from the city. We are finalizing the permits on that part of the building at this time. The build should start in no more than 30 days. The space, the menu, and the finishing touches should be complete over the winter and we will launch in the Spring when the roof deck will be enjoyable. We can’t wait to open our doors.”

“Dear PoPville,
Are you a furloughed fed that has been getting creative with all of your spare time? Then come join fellow furloughed feds at the DC Petworth Farmers Market this Friday, October 18 from 4pm to 7pm. We’ll have a consignment-style booth where you can sell your crafts, art, and other creations. Unfortunately, you cannot sell food (sorry bakers) but you’re welcome to sell things that turn into food, like seeds you’ve saved from the season, recipes, etc.
Send an email to izzy(at)izzyhill.com to sign up and for more information. In the event that the government opens this week, we’ll still have folks staffing the booth.
See you at the market!”
