Showtime Lounge in Bloomingdale: Come for the jukebox, stay for a beer


Washington music fans know Paul Vivari as DJ Soul Call Paul, the man who spins ’50s R&B, ’60s funk and girl groups at Big Bad City and other dance parties. But tonight, Bloomingdale residents will meet him in another capacity: bar owner.

Vivari’s tiny new tavern, Showtime Lounge, will open at 8 p.m. at 113 Rhode Island Ave. NW, across the street from Boundary Stone. The focus at this low-ceilinged one-room bar is on cheap drinks and great music coming from one of the city’s best jukeboxes. “The city used to be full of dive bars – little neighborhood places like this,” he says.

Let’s start with the drinks. Four draft beers, including DC Brau Public Ale and Bells Oberon wheat ale, flow from a 1930s water tank. Natty Boh, Tecate and Corona Light cans start at $3. (There will be some “craft beer” options, Vivari says, but they might not be available tonight.) He’s also pouring $4 glasses of wine, straight out of the box.
His expertly curated jukebox is stacked with 100 R&B and soul CDs that span the decades from Duke Ellington to Motown, with a focus on D.C. artists, such as Link Wray and Shrine Records. There are plenty of other famous names, too: Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James, James Brown, the Marvelettes, and Ike and Tina Turner. Instead of just sticking CD track lists in the jukebox, Vivari created hand-bound books, almost like karaoke books, that list every available song, and will sit on tables around the room. “Getting to put your own jukebox together,” Vivari says with a laugh, is “the culmination of decades of being a music nerd. I’ll be playing with [the music selection] for the rest of my life.”
Something else to note: The jukebox is completely free. (Convenient, since the bar is cash-only.)
Showtime inherited its name from the previous occupant, Showtime Hair Design, that closed in January 2012. Vivari lives upstairs, and when he got the option to take over the space, “it was too convenient to pass up,” he says. Vivari, who has worked at bars around 14th and U streets, including the Black Cat, wasn’t sure if he wanted to open a bar or a record store. Instead, he opened a record-focused bar that pays tribute to D.C. The walls feature murals of famous Washington musicians and record label logos, drawn by artist Laura Harris. The bathroom is plastered with pages from old Redskins game day programs, inherited from Vivari’s grandfather, a longtime season ticket holder. And if you look at the “weird, British colonial wallpaper,” the large booths and the wood trim, you’ll notice it’s just the right shade of burgundy and gold.
Eventually, Vivari says Showtime will open at 7 or 8 a.m., serving coffee to neighborhood commuters. “There’s a bus stop right outside,” he points out. But for now, the bar looks like the low-key, low-priced hangout that Bloomingdale needs, and a place where music fans will want to linger.

  McMillan Developers Launch Biased, Flawed Internet Survey

The developers chosen to develop the historic McMillan Sand Filtration Site have suddenly discovered the need to determine what the nearby community (and everybody else) really wants for the site.  A full seven years after signing an ``Exclusive Rights Agreement`` with the District Government and presenting their plan to overdevelop the site at countless official and unofficial meetings, Vision McMillan Partners (VMP) has sent out, via the Internet and social media, a survey that is both flawed and biased.

Unlike the Friends of McMillan 2012 survey that employed generally accepted methodologies for survey design, the VMP/District survey is subject to these design flaws:

 --Ballot-stuffing: survey takers are not identified; anybody on the Internet can ``vote early and vote often``;
 --Unfocused: this survey has no mechanism to dis-aggregate the data collected so that anyone can determine where respondents are from: (1) the surrounding community, (2) Ward 5, (3) the District, or (4) anywhere on the Internet;
 --Exclusivity: the survey is apparently being conducted only via e-mail and at selected meetings, and thus many people, particularly older, long-term residents will be left out.
--Biased questions: some questions offer false choices between either the VMP/District`s poor development or no development at all, and other questions offer many options but limit answers to ``choose only three,`` automatically diluting the number and intensity of the concerns people have.

``Why is VMP and the District Government all of a sudden doing this survey after seven years of trying to sell us on their plan to overdevelop McMillan?,`` asked John Salatti, a Bloomingdale resident, former ANC Commissioner, and member of The Friends. ``Are they finally realizing that our rigorous door-to-door survey last year and the hundreds of petition signatures we have collected, both for more park and less development, shows what people really want?``

The Friends completed its comprehensive, unbiased, door-to-door survey over a year ago and presented the results to Mayor Gray, the City Council, including Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, and to neighborhood and civic associations.  The survey showed that a majority of neighbors want over 50% park and preservation of the underground cells and above-ground silos.   The VMP/District plan, in contrast, calls for an undistinguished, suburb-like development with 12-story office buildings on the north, massive automobile traffic at North Capitol Street and Michigan Avenue and destruction of most the underground water filtration caverns and above-ground structures and minimal contiguous park space.

``This flawed VMP/District Government survey is one more reason for Mayor Gray to cancel the June 6 meeting on declaring McMillan surplus,`` said Salatti. ``When we meet with Councilmember McDuffie next week, we will ask him to join our appeal to the Mayor.``

Dear Ward 5 Residents,

It is with deep regret that I report that following a routine, internal review of my Constituent Service Fund, I learned on Wednesday that a member of my staff made $225.07 in unauthorized expenditures from the Fund. This obviously is a very serious personnel matter, and I am disheartened that this incident occurred.
I hold myself and my office to the highest standard of personal integrity and have acted swiftly to address this matter. To this end, yesterday I took the necessary steps to terminate the employee and reported the violation to the Office of Campaign Finance (OCF). Now that this matter is under review, I have full confidence that OCF will conduct a thorough and prompt investigation.

Best,

Subject: [ward5] Letter to Ward 5

Dear Ward 5 Neighbors,
                          
There comes a time in one’s life when you have to face the realities of life.  That time has come for me.
The Bloomingdale community and Ward 5 have been home to me for over 30 years.  The house I live in is where my mother and her sister were each married.  There are community, Ward, and family memories I will always cherish with fondness and love.
All of my life I have tried to serve others and to be a positive guidepost for young people.  Community service is a principle I value and believe.  I am blessed God has allowed me many opportunities to champion the causes of justice, equality, due process for all regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, or political ideology.   However, I will always be a proud Democrat.
I tried my best to be fair to all and to respect all, even those who strongly disagreed with me.
Throughout my varied roles of service; as a teacher, a U.S. military service member, and a community activist, I fought for the rights of others and for the dignity of all people.    I am truly proud of my commitment and support for D.C. statehood and the right for full District congressional representation.
Over the years I have marched for civil rights, protested injustices against young people, workers, and seniors, walked with my neighbors against drug trafficking in the Bloomingdale/Edgewood/Eckington communities.  I have testified in strong support for high quality District public education, against governmental secrecy, over-reach, and even been arrested for District self-determination.  I believe and remain a dedicated fighter for good government and community cohesion and inclusiveness. 
I believe in fighting for what is right and just.  Even, if I had to stand and fight alone. 
Yet, through and above it all, I tried to be loyal to my principles, to my core beliefs of justice and due process, and dedicated to the people of the District of Columbia.  While I did not back down from a political or public policy challenge and fought hard to persuade the truths as I thought they were; I never engaged in the practice of anonymous personal character assassination to hurt people or for entertainment. Whatever I said or did, I stood up and put my name to it.  In an era before the current public and media outcry for openness, transparency, ethics; I saw it as the decent thing to do. 
I tried to be faithful and dedicated to Bloomingdale, Ward 5, and to the people of the District of Columbia.  I believe I have.
My personal and community journey of service has enriched me and made me I hope worthy of God’s grace and mercy.  However, the time has come for me to focus on something spiritually more valuable and precious; my health and my family.
It is with great love and affection I announce I will not seek re-election as Chair of the Ward 5 Democratic Committee.  In addition, I will step-down as a Vice-Chair of the Ward 5 Council on Education, Inc., and Vice-Chair of the 5th District Citizens’ Advisory Council, Inc.
If there is a closing thought I would share, I hope you will find it in the links below:

Please know there is still and always will be a fight in me.
There are many people who I would give a shout out to for their encouragement through the years.  I cannot name them all; however, I would like to single out two people for special recognition as leaders; they are Mayor Vincent C. Gray and Chairman Phil Mendelson. 
As a Washingtonian and as a proud Democrat, I believe Mayor Gray and Chairman Mendelson have provided consummate municipal leadership and management oversight of District affairs. 
Finally, to the three who mean the most to me, my wife, my son, and my goddaughter, I’m coming home.  I love you all.
Robert

Washington Post Home & Garden article below - featuring Bloomingdale's Tynesia Hand-Smith:


By Margaret Ely, Published: May 29

THE CHALLENGE

Lori and Jim Follmer`s kitchen is the largest room in their Frederick home. Instead of a traditional dining area with a table and chairs, the Follmers want a stylish and comfortable space for entertaining guests.

THE SOLUTION

Hand-Smith, of Design 36ixty Interiors (202-986-1847, www.design36ixty.com ), is based in Washington.

Two bookcases, including one that fits between the refrigerator and the fireplace, help store cookbooks and paperwork.

A new sofa is set opposite the fireplace, which now becomes the room`s focal point.

To help ease the transition from kitchen to seating area, add a bright rug.

Hang framed prints with a consistent theme throughout the space, including on the backsplash behind the sink.

Use a wall color that blends well with the exposed brick to frame the fireplace. Try Benjamin Moore`s Audubon Russet.

power outage on Rhode Island Avenue NW in Bloomingdale

From: Chancee Lundy clundy@nspiregreen.com
Date: May 30, 2013, 4:00:44 PM EDT
Subject: Power Outage on Rhode Island Ave. NW


Commissioners,

There is currently a power outage affecting some of the homes on the 100 and 200 block of Rhode Island Ave. NW as well as the traffic signals at 2nd and 3rd.

We have contacted Pepco about the issue. They informed us that an overhead transformer exploded in the area and  that they are working to have power restored by 6:00pm.

I am letting you know this because a few residents came outside believing that the DDOT construction hit a line. That is not the case. At any rate, I wanted to keep you informed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
