“Earlier this month, community leaders announced the creation of the Adams Morgan Commercial Development Coalition (AMCDC), an organization focused on the reimagination and the livability of the Adams Morgan commercial core as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The AMCDC – consisting of neighborhood residents, commercial and mixed-use property owners and Adams Morgan business owners and employees – urges District of Columbia leaders to take bold action by empowering the Adams Morgan community to reinvent 18th Street. The AMCDC envisions a roadway used for additional outdoor spaces for pedestrian activity, neighborhood retailers and food and beverage establishments. (more…)

From an email:
“Commissary, the casual American concept from EatWell DC, re-opens for takeout and delivery on Wednesday, May 20th at 1443P St NW. The restaurant has been closed for the past 2 months and has undergone a top to bottom cleaning and menu evolution. The casual all-day spot has retailored the menu to better serve the take-out and delivery market while retaining all the fan favorites.
“We waited until we had a better understanding of the situation and could formulate a plan of safety for our team and our guests. We have great people who want to get back to work and providing that opportunity, carefully, has been a goal since we closed. It is important for us to be your neighborhood “go to”. We wanted to be there for the community, but our team’s health and safety had to come first. Now that we have a safe plan, we felt it was time to reemerge” says principal owner David Winer
Chef Tom Crenshaw has been brainstorming for weeks and the new breakfast and lunch menu offers more sandwich options like Pastrami and Grill Vegetables as well as breakfast sandwiches like Panini and Fried Chicken with eggs while still offering classics like Blueberry Pancakes and Patty melts. Bullfrog Bagels and La Colombe coffee are also still available for take-out and Delivery. Dinner options will preserve the beloved Herb Roasted Chicken, Crispy Skin Salmon and Fish & Chips while adding what’s sure be a new fav, Hot Chicken and family style meals (for 4) that have options for Salads, Entrees, Sides and Desserts at a super reasonable neighborhood price. You can look forward to pop up specials from our Eatwell DC sister restaurants as well.
Cocktails, including Frose, Bloodies and Mimosas (by glass & pitcher), Beer, Wine (bottles and cans) will be offered(more…)

One of the unseen perils of the stay-at-home orders is the loss of visibility of those who live alone and are no longer reporting to work or scheduled activities. Unfortunately, a tragic situation recently arose from this type of circumstance with Steve Parker, a beloved tennis coach in the greater D.C. area.
Steve, who lives alone, suffered a severe MCA stroke sometime between April 1 and April 6. His classes during that period had been canceled, and his phone shows that he did not respond to calls and text messages. Steve was ultimately found by his brothers collapsed, barely conscious, and confused. (more…)
I’ve been walking around the track for the past two months without issue, but yesterday when I went over there a security guard yelled at me that the park was closed. I’ve been at the Park with a security guard before, but they only yelled at people who were hanging out–anyone who was moving was allowed to stay. I thought that the parks were open for recreation purposes, so I was very confused when the security guard yelled at us.”
