The Week Ahead & Some Photos from the Past Week

Posted July 3, 2022

ANC6B Commissioner Peter Wright announced at last Tuesday’s ANC6B Executive Committee virtual meeting that he will resign as commissioner in August.  He was elected in 2020. Wright and his family are relocating out of his 6B08 Single Member District. ANC6B08 lies between East Capitol and C Street, SE, east and south of Lincoln Park.  Given the timing required for the ANC to declare the seat vacant and to schedule a special election, the position will remain unfilled until a new commissioner is elected in November and sworn in next January. 

Zach Cutler with Ace Ono, Micah Robinson, Frank Javois and Biscuit Bynum kicked off the July 4th holiday weekend on Friday night at Eastern Market Metro Plaza.

Eastern Market Community Advisory Committee (EMCAC) held a virtual meeting last Wednesday.  Acting Chair Chuck Burger announced that he would continue in that capacity for one more year in the interests of continuity pending the appointment of new members – one each by Mayor Bowser and CM Charles Allen.  The Committee discussed a proposal to mount a plaque on Eastern Market commemorating the lengthy Chairmanship of Allen-appointee Donna Scheeder who passed in March. 

CHC hasn’t been here for a while but the Farmer’s Market at RFK is still in operation. It’s now at RFK Fields near the intersection of Oklahoma Avenue and Benning Road. 

Marianne’s DC Central Kitchen at MLK Library (with outdoor patio) –

as a matter of library policy, offers an 8 oz. cup of coffee for $1.  Where else in DC will you find that?
