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.

ANC6B has a bone to pick with Ambar on Barracks Row. The restaurant’s alcohol beverage license is up for renewal and ANC6B is protesting the renewal because, they say, Ambar is in violation of the agreement under which they promised to store trash indoors. Ambar had made signed an agreement to that effect in return for ANC support for their adding a second story to the rear of the restaurant – a pledge it seems, they never had any intention of honoring.
Here’s the current situation: a dumpster and a trash compacter. On Wednesday, the city’s alcohol licensing board hears the case and the outcome will indicate both how seriously the board takes restaurants’ signed operating agreements negotiated with ANCs as well as how much “great weight” the agency actually gives opinions ANC as required by law. The ANC has taken this protest seriously and both sides have lawyered up; negotiations on a settlement were taking place over the past week. See below for info on how to virtually join Wednesday’s meeting. (Update: hearing has been postponed as negotiations continue. )
Update on Barracks Row Popeye’s – Last week, the front door of the Popeye’s on Barracks Row sported a Stop Work Order regarding the installation of their air conditioning units. That issue looks to have been resolved and new building permits have been posted. Work has continued on the buildout with substantial progress. No word yet on opening, though. The Popeye’s restaurant previously at that location under another owner closed in November 2021. Meanwhile, at Taco Bell – Popeye’s next door neighbor – it appears that not much visible progress has happened beyond interior demolition.
The ANC6B Southeast Library Taskforce chaired by Commissioner David Sobelsohn met on Monday, September 15, and heard a construction update from Jaspreet Pahwa, Director, Capital Planning and Construction – DC Library. Construction is on schedule after an unexpected delay caused by having to relocate Washington Gas pipelines which pushed back the expected early 2026 reopening by three months. Here’s the current view of the construction on the South Carolina side of the library.
And here’s the view on the D Street side.
The Hill Center – Here’s a photo from last Sunday’s American Roots Concert Series at Hill Center. This one featured the Pine Leaf Boys who drew a large crowd for the free concert. The NYT described them as “…the link that connects the young and the old generations,” and “the best new, energetic and fun Cajun band in a very long time.”
Over in front of the Hill Center, Gathering Terrace – the John Franzén Terrace – drew several members of the over-flow crowd for the Pine Leaf Boys. The space will be dedicated at a two hour event on October 1, beginning at 5:30pm. Mayor Bowser is scheduled to attend and the program will include a military honor guard presenting the colors. Here’s a link to register for the event: http://bit.ly/3IAUHX9

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.

Ward 6 Free DC organizers and Ward 6 co-leaders Anjali and Allegra
Ward Six FreeDC Pushes for Community Involvement
by Larry Janezich
Tuesday night some 200 residents turned out for the Ward 6 FreeDC September meeting in Reformation Lutheran Church a block from the Capitol Grounds on East Capitol Street. The purpose of the meeting was to update current and prospective FreeDC members on DC home rule and the occupation of DC by federal law enforcement agents and the National Guard.
The focus of the group has continued to evolve in response to changing circumstances. Initially their goal was to encourage Congress to restore DC’s authority to spend its own revenue by correcting an oversight which dropped that authority from a law which continued spending for agencies whose appropriation bills had not yet been passed. Since then, the Mayor found ways to work around most of that lack of authority.
While that was under discussion, there was a movement in Congress to repeal several DC council-passed laws, including laws on police reform, juvenile justice, and local residents’ voting rights. (Those bills and another 11 bills restricting DC Home Rule passed the House Committee on Oversight and Government on Wednesday afternoon.)
In addition, administration declared a 30 day emergency and moved to takeover DC MPD. Separately, federal agents including ICE and the National Guard were deployed to DC’s streets. The emergency action by which the President took over MPD expired Wednesday night and Congress has no plans to renew that authority. The deployment of federal law enforcement agents including ICE could continue and the National Guard presence in DC could last at least through November given the administration’s extension of the Guard’s activation through December.
In response to these many developments, Free DC has expanded and organized several of its efforts around resistance to authoritarianism. The Congress Working Group has been relentless in personal outreach to lobby members of Congress. (Their other working groups include accessibility, arts and culture, communications, DC local government, popular education, safety, and tabling.)
FreeDC is working to reach a critical number of residents who are willing to participate in “non-cooperation,” an idea based on what is known as the “3.5% rule’ in political theory. Research shows that campaigns which engage at least 3.5% of the population in a sustained, nonviolent protest can be successful. The figure specifically refers to nonviolent resistance because the theory goes, nonviolent movements are more likely to attract and sustain large-scale participation and support. For DC, that number is 24,500 residents, or 3,100 per ward.
FreeDC is providing non-cooperation training sessions. Attendees must attend a FreeDC Orientation session prior to registering. See Events on FreeDC at https://freedcproject.org/events
There is a Ward Six Orientation Meeting on Sunday, October 5, at 1:00pm, Westminster Presbyterian Church, 400 I Street, SW. Register here: https://bit.ly/3IbChvZ
Since mid-January, when the group’s email list stood at 3,000, it has grown to more than 30,000 today. Sign up for the email list here https://freedcproject.org/ to learn more about upcoming events, actions, and ways to get involved. (The email list does not necessarily reflect the number of those engaging in non-cooperation.)
The presentation included emphasis of FreeDC’s Tenets: Prioritize joy, take up space, i.e., be seen and heard, and organize.
Free DC’s Code of Conduct includes: Respect everyone, refrain from hate speech, provide constructive feedback, and encourage participation.

The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

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 17th 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
