The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

by Larry Janezich

Posted September 28, 2025

Rumsey Update – Pool Repairs Slated for November.  Ward Six CM Charles Allen announced Saturday that DPR and DGS will replace the faulty boiler which is why the pool’s water has been unheated.  The work will start in October and is scheduled for completion in November.  Regarding the longer term plans for demolition and reconstruction of Rumsey, Allen said that the project is behind schedule and that it’s likely work won’t start before next summer.

Barracks Row Starbucks closes – A letter on the door of the coffee shop addressed to “our amazing customers” announced the closing of the Barracks Row Starbucks yesterday, September 27.  The store is one of the chain’s ten DC shops which closed as part of a nationwide $1 billion restructuring plan. 

Here’s a photo of some of the outlet’s last customers circa 10:30am on Saturday. 

For Sale – The National Association for Home Care & Hospice Building opposite Eastern Market is up for sale.  The building went on the market about a month ago with a listing price of $10 million.  The 25,000 square foot building was built in 1995.  The sale will not affect the MedStar Urgent Care Center which is in the middle of a 20 year lease. 

The demolition of RFK Stadium started in early 2025 and is scheduled for completion in fall of 2026.  Currently, it resembles the skeleton of a beached whale.  Here’s a link to the DC RFK Demolition website which has a link to the live demolition camera atop DC Armory.  https://eventsdc.com/venue/rfk-stadium/rfk-demolition-updates The photos are from Wednesday, September 24.

Memorial Fund for Eastern Market Farmer Dan Donahue

by Larry Janezich

Posted September 27, 2025

Dan Donahue’s engaging presence on the Farmer’s Line at Eastern Market on weekends stretched for 34 years.  Dan passed last year and his friends at the Market have launched a GoFundMe to raise $10,000 to inter Dan’s ashes in Congressional Cemetery.  As a decorated veteran, Dan could have been buried in Arlington Cemetery, according to his long-time friend Chris Girardot of Ravenhook Bake House.  But Dan was not interested in that, Girardot said; “Dan loved Capitol Hill, and Congressional Cemetery is the place where Dan should be.” 

Here’s a link to the fundraiser.  https://www.gofundme.com/dan-donahue  

A celebration of life for Dan will be held on Monday, October 13 at 11:00am at Capitol Hill United Methodist Church, 412 Seward Square, SE.  Dan had been a regular contributor of food the church’s meal center.

Girardot says that Dan had not worked at the Market in the year before his death, as debts mounted; “Dan was a mentor to me, and it matters to me what happens to him.  Everything he did was to make his food and his stand better and to leave people happy.”

His survivors include his sister, Patricia, several nieces and nephews, and his former wife, Susan Donahue of Maryland.

Post 46 of the American Legion is hosting a Bourbon Tasting Fundraiser on Saturday, September 20, (3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.) at Valor Brewpub, (723 8th Street, SE, Barracks Row).

ANC6A Transportation Committee with DDOT’s Chris Berg, center.

Monday night, ANC6A’s Transportation Committee, chaired by resident commissioner Patrick Bloomstein, received an update on DDOT’s Strategic Bike Plan.  The report came from DDOT’s Bicycle/Pedestrian Program Specialist, Chris Berg.    

The Strategic Bikeways Plan will establish priorities for development of the city’s bikeways.  The plan will update the moveDC bicycle priority network, following up on projects completed since 2021, to identify gaps and missing connections and reflect community needs.  The effort will entail identifying key corridors and neighborhood bikeways and Berg stressed the call from bikers for protected bike lanes. 

(Last week, ANC6B voted unanimously to write a letter to DDOT supporting Hill Family Biking’s proposal from Sam Moghtaderi and Christopher Forinash to encourage the city to put a protected 2-way bike lane on 11th Street, SE, from Lincoln Park to M Street, SE.)

As shown in the timeline above, the project is in the Public Meetings stage.  Delivery of a final Strategic Bike Plan is scheduled for April – July 2026.  That will be followed by decisions on the details of a five year work plan for Fiscal Year 2026 – Fiscal Year 2030.

DDOT will have a table at the H Street Festival next Saturday, September 20, to interact with bikers and answer questions.  A proposed Ward 6 public workshop on the Strategic Plan has been scheduled for December 4 at a location TBA.

A Japanese Lantern Park outdoor installation at Eastern Market Metro Plaza for Art All Night on Friday night.

The night’s program started in early evening with a performance by Samurai Sword Soul – a samurai theater company – with a drama portraying the struggle between good and evil.  Samurai Sword Soul is a samurai theater company, founded by Yoshi Amao in 2003.  Their mission is to spread the Bushi-Do, The Way of the Samurai, and to introduce authentic Japanese sword stage fighting to people who are not familiar with it.

They regard the Samurai Virtues: Rectitude (義 gi), Courage (勇yū), Benevolence (仁 jin), Respect (礼 rei), Honesty (誠 makoto), Honor (名誉 meiyo), and Loyalty (忠義 chūgi) as the code of conduct that is still relevant in our time.  For more, go here:  https://www.samuraiswordsoul.com/

The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

by Larry Janezich

Posted:  September 7, 2025

Last Wednesday, September 3, more than a thousand supporters attended a news conference at the “House Triangle” outside the House wing of the U.S. Capitol which featured a bipartisan assortment of House members and eight victims of Jeffrey Epstein who demanded the release of the Epstein files by the Department of Justice.  Legislation to force the release is sitting in the House Judiciary Committee.  Rep. Massie, (R-KY) has filed a petition to force the bill to the House floor.  The petition requires the signatures of a majority of House members and Massie is two short.  If the bill were to come to the floor it would require a majority in the House and then a majority of the Senate to pass.  The bill would then go to the President who could sign it, veto it, or let it become law without his signature after ten days. 

Over at Eastern Market Metro that same morning, the National Guard was getting ready to deploy from mezzanine near the escalators.  Another group about the same size was stationed on the Plaza above.

Sunday, Labyrinth Games and Puzzles at 645 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, was holding its annual used board game sale. 

Once a year, Labyrinth holds the sale, the proceeds of which go to DC schoolteachers to buy board games for the schoolroom.  Staff regulated access, keeping the numbers of shoppers manageable.

It seemed touch and go for a while – whether the driver could get this 18 wheeler into the 700 Penn loading dock.  It took some skill, but the driver was successful.  Might have been a difference story if cars had been parked in front of Peregrine across the street.  

BTW Peregrine celebrated its 17^th anniversary Tuesday, September 2, with free 12 oz cups of coffee all day.  CHC was there when Peregrine opened on Friday, August 29, 2008.  Here’s a photo about two weeks later, on September 12, 2008.  That’s owner Ryan Jensen in the center.    

And on Thursday, August 28, one of the most powerful women in France and the global financial world dropped by Bowers Fancy Dairy Products in Eastern Market.  Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank and the former woman head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), was shopping for cheese – her daughter in law is from Wisconsin. Bowers seized the opportunity to memorialize the moment.   She’s second from left next to Bowers.  Photo source:  Mike Bowers
