...from the bloomingdale garden club.....
“The Nation’s Capitol Among the Green Guide’s Ten Greenest Cities in America ”
No, that isn’t a current news headline. But, it could be one you’ll see in the future. Join other citizens of like mind at a meeting at 7:00 p.m. at Windows Café & Market next Wednesday, September 27th to begin putting together an agenda for the greening of DC using Bloomingdale as the proverbial lab rat.
Citizens of Green cities can boast of cleaner air, water, and all the other things that go to make up a healthy ecosystem. Green cities also provide safe, reliable, and non-polluting public transportation options, walkable streets, loads of green space, broad access to and use of renewable energy resources. They also seek to pioneer the use of green building techniques in public buildings and to encourage green building among industries, businesses, and private citizens through effective legislation, building codes, and targeted funding opportunities.
Being Green can be all that has been mentioned and so much more. Every citizen of Bloomingdale wants and deserves a green neighborhood and a green city for themselves, their children, and for future generations of Bloomingdalians.
Have your say about what you’d like to see and learn from others as we begin the work of charting a greener path for DC at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 27th at Windows Café and Market. For more information contact Cassandra Costley at 202-462-3737 or sandysan55@hotmail.com.

gun buyback
Does anyone else out there think that the Gun Buyback program is just an excuse for the thugs to trade up?
not that they did
Officials said that most people turning in weapons were law-abiding citizens
from THIS article
Curfew for kids? i'm all for it. Gun Buyback? i dont think so.

Mr Fenty, Mr Thomas.
A neighbor allowed me to post these images he took of Adrian Fenty and Harry Thomas on wednesday morning thanking the city and ward for voting for them. generally there are drugs dealers hanging on that corner. One well dressed gentleman asked me if i would perchance care to purhase some very fine smoke/blow on that very corner, the very same evening of Fenty's thank you showcase. Once there was a guy in a wheelchair selling out of a tackle box.
maybe it was nightcrawlers.
This is on the sw corner of New York and Florida NW.
"people first", right? we'll see.

BID in adams morgan
I'm interested in BID's and what they have done to improve neighborhoods. Still, i am a bit uneasy about the privatization of public services.
here is a washington post article about adams morgan with this quote
I don't think we should be doing the work that we're already paying taxes for," said Bill Duggan, owner of Madam's Organ, a popular bar, who wants the improvement district to dissolve. "It's insulting to the community to have to pay for security or trash removal. It's a testament to the inefficiency of the government.

If the number of signs and supporters i saw today indicates election results
the Adrian Fenty will win hands down.
I was all around today on errands and his supporters were freakin everywhere.
i was cut off by a van plastered in Orange signs . warning: If you are advertising something on your van; drive courteously. that goes for you contractors too. Mr Flood, you know who i'm talking about.
Anyway. I saw what must have been the fenty victory party tent on u street. Or something akin. It looked like a Fenty family renunion, what with the t-shirts and all.
I saw a large moving billboard/sound board of Marie Johns driving around preaching her message.
The line was really short over at Dumbar and there were about 100 people handing out information. mostly holding green signs.

downtown retail
here is a washington post editorial about retail in downtown dc.
One of the disappointing things about downtown Washington is how limited and boring its retail offerings are, particularly considering the wealth and sophistication of the millions of people who live and work in the District or visit here each year.

my sarcasm worthy of Express
here
but there was a good piece of anon sarcasm in todays bloomingdale community email
I can’t wait ...to shop for all my off-brand and seconds/reject clothing at the Brentwood Shopping Center while my car gets stolen from the parking lot.

I really don't understand why dc is so inept.
1. four years ago the company contracted to print out the voters guide sent it AFTER the primary.
2. DC used that same company again. When some business screws up something that affects ( insert number of registered voters) NEVER hire them again.
Please go here to find your correct polling place, rather than trust the guide you received in the mail.
i think DC's new motto should be
DC- the little engine Dat Couldn't.
