The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

Posted October 26, 2025

Wolfgang Puck’s Place in Union Station.  Here are some photos of where Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant is going to be in Union Station, and a rendering of what it’s going to look like.  It will be at the top of the escalator – which from the mezzanine – will lead UNIQLO on the west end of Union Station.

On the right hand side of the up escalator in the space formerly occupied by Pizzaria Uno is where you’ll find Wolfgang Puck’s BAR + Bites.

And here’s an architect’s rendering of what it’s going to look like.

Construction Update on SE Library Renovation.  Photos from the DC Library’s October 23 Construction update – a view of the skylight from the historic entrance on 7th Street, and the view from the inside looking toward the historic entrance.  (Apparently the postings on the bulletin boards inside the historic entrance will be last to go of the interior features of the original libarary.)

Inside the universal entrance at the South Carolina Entrance at street level.

A new sushi counter restaurant concept will open in the space at 325 7th Street, SE, between Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant and Randolph Cree Hair Salon.  The plans call for a sushi counter with fixed seating to run the length of the interior front of house area.  The space was formerly occupied by My Cake Theory and before that by the Dawn Price Baby store.  The build out is underway, but no estimate yet on how long it will take. 

August 14:  National Guard troops began 24-hour operations in DC, with a focus on areas like Union Station and the National Mall.

August 16:  Three states (West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio) pledged to send hundreds of National Guard troops to the city to assist with the federal crackdown (SC 200, Ohio 150, WVA 360).  A NG spokesman said “Guard members may (soon) be armed consistent with their mission and training.”

National Guardsmen probably just taking a break inside Union Station. 

Two National Guard personnel headed to the Amtrak Metropolitan Lounge.

Finding Community in Pickleball – More than a Sport

Finding Community in Pickleball – More than a Sport

by Larry Janezich

Posted, August 3, 2025

A sense of community doesn’t just happen – it comes from the contributions of individuals and social/civic organizations to their community. 

Washington DC Pickleball (WDCP) https://www.washingtondcpickleball.org/  is a community enriching endeavor that adherents find personally rewarding as well as a vehicle for creating and developing a network that unites its players across a broad swath of the city’s social fabric. 

In an interview with Ruth Ellis, Ambassador for WDCP, one word that keeps popping up is “community,” referring not only to the shared interest among players, but also to the reality that they are part of something larger than themselves. 

According to the website, “WDCP is a volunteer-led nonprofit that provides on-site equipment, balls, social events, promotional and charitable programs, and pickleball advocacy throughout Washington, DC.”  The organization advocates for, increases awareness of, and encourages active involvement in the sport.

As a WDCP Ambassador, Ellis and others have testified before the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) oversight hearing to push for city resources to further the organization’s intertwined vision and sports related goals.  

To illustrate the community benefits, she cites the organization’s community programming, including the success of the DC Jail Program.  Inspired by a Washington Post article https://wapo.st/3INlJdH about Roger BelAir bringing pickleball into prisons, WDCP proposed doing the same thing at DC Jail.  The DC Department of Corrections was enthusiastic about the proposal and weekly play began at the jail in April 2024. 

Ellis says, “The pickleball program is no cost to the jail so there’s no economic impact at all….The vast majority (of players) are going to be re-entering our civic life and our civic space and I think it’s safe to say everybody wants them to come home in a way that’s safe and positive and healthy for them and for their families and for their community and for the city.”

Buoyed by positive feedback on the program at DC Jail, Ellis says regarding the oversight hearings, “Testifying shows our commitment to the community – not just for ourselves, but for the broader community and what I’m trying to do now is to expand pickleball into the youth community because the youth community is having some problems that are having a severe impact on the city.  Pickleball is a great way to connect and show how you can treat other people with respect while you’re competing with them.”

As a new sport and one that is exploding in popularity, pickleball does not have as many resources as tennis.  Ellis says, “We don’t have a permanent net location so every time we go out to play pickleball we have to first of all find a place where we can play go out there, set up nets – do everything ourselves. I mean everything we do is volunteer.”

She says she is trying to fill that gap a little bit – “…which has been challenging – I’ve offered a series free coaching lessons at Anacostia Park.  We’ve had an event there on July 4th three years in a row and we have 60 to 80 people coming out to play pickleball.  About half of them are from DC east of the river and we had a big group that came from Prince Georges County.”

Also, in partnership with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the National Capital Area, DCPB hosted a sibling match event at Anacostia Park in October 2024.  Every participant learned to play pickleball in a 90-minute coaching session. 

Ellis says, “There’s nowhere else in the city where we could do this” but she adds, that next year the National Park Service will put in pickleball courts in the park.  

In answer to what kind of assistance from the city she seeks, she said, “DC DPR does not currently have any youth pickleball programming and “We don’t have courts – we don’t have time in the DPR’s recreational schedule.”

She envisions more sports programming in collaboration with the city…”I’d like to partner with the city and help support programming for pickleball.  We want pickleball to be more of a regular sport than it is.  Tennis players don’t have to fight to get a court built in their community – they just build tennis courts – and we want the same thing for pickleball.”

Ellis sees signs of hope and progress – DDOT has issued permits for construction of six permanent pickleball courts as part of the Garfield Park Connector Project.  All funds to pay for the court construction will come from WDCP’s fund raising efforts and the player community.  The Capitol Riverfront BID will hold the permit and manage the funds for Garfield courts.  WDCP will manage day to day operations including setting hours, permitting, and events, with sign off from the Capitol Riverfront Parks Foundation to ensure courts are sufficiently publically accessible.  The project is weather dependent so the projected completion date could be as early as fall of 2025 or as late as spring, 2026.

Posted June 8, 2025

St. Georges Boulangerie Update – Here’s a hopeful sign: the arrival of new equipment waiting to be installed at the forthcoming French Bakery at 7th and C Streets, SE, across from Eastern Market.  There hasn’t been much progress on the build out inside, though the demolition work is well underway.  A fall opening looks more likely than one hoped for this summer.

Pasha Castle Arrives at 615 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE – The Mediterranean dessert shop serving Turkish and Lebanese sweets and savories opened last Monday.  Among menu items:  chocolate crepe, pistachio ice cream, kaake sandwiches (sesame coated soft bread with cheese or turkey), caramel latte frappe, baklava milkshake, ten infusions, hot chocolate and hot and cold coffees.  Here are some photos.

And here’s an Instagram link for the site of the main restaurant at 3279 M Street, NW:  https://www.instagram.com/pashacastle/

Lavender Retreat Wellness Center Celebrates:  Farther down Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, at number 1236, Lavender Retreat is celebrating its 10th Anniversary.  Founder and CEO Jaime Bohl says she strives to mold Lavender Retreat into a world-class alternative health organization offering massage and acupuncture therapies,  Chakra balancing, Reiki healing, and Naturapathic healing.  Here’s a link to the website:  https://www.lavenderretreat.com/

ANC6B’s Planning and Zoning Committee met last week.  Resident member and former commissioner Corey Holman (top center) is stepping down as Committee chair as he is relocating.  Commissioner Vince Marino (top left) will fill in as chair until a new Chair can be elected.

The ANC6B Transportation Committee chaired by commissioner Karen Hughes (top center) also met last week.  Residents continue to express unhappiness about the up-coming June 28 Open Streets Event which anticipates closing North Carolina Avenue SE between 6th and 11th Streets SE, East Capitol SE, as well as Massachusetts Avenue between 13th and 17th Street SE from 7am until 5pm.  No vehicles will be allowed on or to cross the route at any time.  One block north and south of the route will also be closed except to residents of those blocks.  Parking will not be allowed on any of the segments from 12am to 5pm on Saturday.

Triple Candies is back with the June installation in the space formerly occupied by the Li’l Pub at 655 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE. This month’s offering references the DC World Pride celebration.  Triple Candie is a research-oriented curatorial agency run by art historian co-founders Shelly Bancroft and Peter Nesbett.  Their purpose is to create alternative exhibition methods making that the object of critical focus rather than what is displayed (which for the most part does not include original artworks).
