The Week Ahead…and some Photos from the Past Week

Friday morning at the Marine Barracks, the Marine Band was just finishing a practice performance of the 1812 Overture – with cannon – for that night’s Evening Parade.  The flag at half-staff is in honor of the 13 Military Service members killed on Thursday in Kabul.
ANC6A ABC Committee met last Tuesday and gave conditional approval for liquor licenses for H Street Spirits at 1368 H Street, NE, featuring high end bourbon, and  Z Korner Store at 234 15th Street, NE, a convenience store that will also carry beer and wine.  Committee members: Mona Hatoum, Chair; Erin Sullivan, Ian Stanford, and Commissioners Robb Dooling, Laura Gentile, and Amber Gove.

Word on Barracks Row is that the former Eat Bar at 415 8th Street, SE, is being built out for a Ledo’s Pizza.  Here’s a menu from Ledo’s existing locations: https://ledopizza.com/menu/

Moechella Market on Barracks Row is a celebration of go-go music and black DC culture. It’s hosted every Sunday from 1:00-8:00 pm at Arena Social (507 8th St SE Washington, DC 20003), featuring vendors and live music and entertainment.  (Barracks Row MainStreet) Washington City Paper has more here:  https://bit.ly/38omZO

This weekend was the final restoration of the 6th Street Mural Restoration Project.  Here’s ANC6C Commissioner Brian Ready and his volunteers on Saturday morning

The series of murals promoting DC Statehood near the corner of 8th Street and Virginia Avenue, SE, having reached the end of their year-long run, are being replaced.  MuralsDC – the DC Department of Public Works Graffiti Prevention Initiative – has commissioned a series of new murals for the site which will reflect the themes of unity and community featuring local references – landscape features and architecture.  http://muralsdcproject.com/

Capitol Hill Corner is documenting the creation of the three murals.  The first one completed is Hannah Atallah’s “Rootedness and Displacement’, based on a photo by Conrado Muluc.  See here:  https://www.hannahatallah.com/   https://www.instagram.com/conradomuluc/?hl=en
