ICYMI: Official Word on Logan Circle Park Closing Monday March 30 through June 15th
Thanks to all who’ve written us and sent the latest from Logan Circle: “Can still walk through the park for the time being…” (more…)
DC is growing fast. You can be a part of shaping its future.
DC 2050 is the District’s next comprehensive plan, which determines where housing, jobs, and amenities should be located across the District. The DC Office of Planning is working on a full rewrite of the comprehensive plan based on technical research, best practices, and the community’s vision for DC’s future.
Why You Should Care
-
Do you struggle to find housing that meets your needs or your budget?
-
Do you want to see new businesses and economic activity in your neighborhood?
-
Are you concerned about the impact of new development?
-
Do you want to know more about how DC is changing and be a part of shaping that change?
DC 2050 is where these priorities are captured and turned into policies. This is the first full rewrite of DC’s comprehensive plan in over 20 years and your opportunity to share your priorities for how we grow for the next 25 years and beyond. No matter where you live in DC, if you rent or own, grew up here or came as an adult, your voice matters. Follow this project and get involved.
Your Voice Matters
When we kicked off this planning process in 2025, we committed to gathering feedback from DC residents, community organizations, and elected officials. From March 2025 to June 2026, we’ve reached over 6,600 people across all eight wards. We’ve also received thousands of comments across multiple online surveys.
If you have engaged with us, filled out our survey, or come to an event, thank you! We read every comment we receive and are working to incorporate the feedback into the draft plan.
Get Involved
We encourage you to share your input on DC’s future. There are lots of ways to stay up to date and get involved:
-
Sign up for the DC 2050 email list to get an alert when new events and requests for input are announced.
-
Attend an event, like our informal office hours at Tenley-Friendship Library on September 24, 3:30-5 pm.
-
Check out DC2050.com to learn more about the project.

The evening ranges freely across the American songbook, threading together the theater music of Sondheim, Rodgers and Hart, Bernstein, and Weill with the songs of Ives, Barber, and Liebermann, and the setting of poets as distinct as E. E. Cummings, Langston Hughes, and Allen Ginsberg. It’s a program that moves with ease between the bright patter of numbers like “The What-Cha-Ma-Call-It” and the aching intimacy of “Lonely House”—music that captures both the exuberance and the tenderness at the heart of the American voice.
Bliss brings to this repertoire a voice of exceptional beauty — bright, focused, and capable of extraordinary refinement — along with a natural feel for the wit, swagger, and vulnerability this music demands, whether he’s channeling Sondheim’s restless “Being Alive,” or the sly nostalgia of “One for My Baby.” Expect an evening that is as much a portrait of a nation’s music as it is a showcase for one of the outstanding tenors of his generation.

From YELLOW:
“Starting Tuesday, April 14, we’ll be moving to an all-day counter service model at YELLOW Georgetown. Tuesday through Saturday, we’ll be open straight through from 8AM to 8PM for an uninterrupted day of all your favorite hand-crafted pastries, mezze + pita sandwiches, and coffee with no more mid-day closure. That means starting mid-April, gone are the days of clearing out the cafe at 3:00 – instead, we’ll continue to offer that same buzzy vibe of hospitality-oriented counter service and more of what’s at the core of YELLOW. Sunday and Monday will maintain the same 8AM to 3PM schedule.
Now, the “bad” news – this change does mean that our (not) Pizza pop-up is coming to an end at YELLOW Georgetown after service on April 11. But, (more…)
I’m just saying it’s almost always a Maryland license plate…
