please support local Bloomingdale businesses during the DC Water NEBT project

· Shops and Retail

· Don’t assume the “We’re Open” sign means the business is thriving
Supporting Bloomingdale Businesses during the DC Water NEBT project
During
the Season of Giving and Shop Small add #shopbloomingdale to your list by
supporting a Bloomingdale Business.
The
Northeast Boundary Tunnel (NEBT) project has had a negative impact on local
businesses. The construction along Rhode Island Avenue and Florida
Ave impedes pedestrian access, reduces parking, reduces ride share
drop-offs, and restricts the view of storefronts from the street.
Small
businesses in Bloomingdale need our support. Bloomingdale offers a variety of
retail within walking distance of our community. Types of Local Businesses in
and around Bloomingdale include:
·
Convenience stores
·
Restaurants (dine-in/carryout)· Bars
· Coffee shops
· Dry cleaners
· Wines and spirits
· Bakeries
· Shops and Retail
How
can you help?
·
Patronize a business you don’t normally support.
·
Encourage friends, family and neighbors to support Bloomingdale businesses· Promote your support on social media
· Don’t assume the “We’re Open” sign means the business is thriving
the vacant building on the southeast corner of 3rd and Florida Ave NW, across from ANXO, has a permit to build out a deli/coffee shop
See these tweets:
🤔Same building is on the Public Space agenda for December. I think I am getting a whiff of ☕️, or maybe a backup location for a popular bagel shop? Plenty of space for lines. 😂#TruxtonCircle pic.twitter.com/vC26Bu728Y— Bloomingdame (@bloomingdame) December 3, 2019

update on McMillan demolition
Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2019 12:27 AM
Good McMillan supporters:
We had a great turnout at the hearing today >>
https://twitter.com/MPHGrace/status/1201602742399258625
Bottom line, today the Administrative Law Judge ruled:
1. DCRA should turn over all public documents to us that the permit issuance rests upon.
2. That this Friday, the OAH will determine if it has the jurisdiction to Stay the Demolition Permit and set a briefing calendar including a phone-in conference hearing on Tuesday, December 10, 2019.
3. DMPED says they will begin demolition on January 6, 2020.
So yes, we now have a forum demanding DCRA be transparent with the information they have withheld from us for months despite this being an entirely public interest case. We want the air, water, soil erosion, geotech, fire safety, pedestrian safety documents that are supposed to be in place before anything begins at the site.
Moreover, we argued demolition is premature and illegal given the designation of the site as an historic landmark and because the legal nexus between construction and zoning codes has not been fulfilled, in that there is at least one more zoning approval that needs to happen beyond the many appeals we have in motion.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR COUNCILMEMBERS AND ASK THEM TO STOP THE DEMOLITION! Use this form here; https://tinyurl.com/dccouncilcontacts2019
ALSO, PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK! ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IN REAL LIFE! Share this link and have them sign the petition which also sends in a note. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!!

Finally, Keep January 6, 2020, on your calendar. DMPED says they will begin demolition of the site then. We will be there to protest! PLEASE BE READY!!
happy holidaze!

The 7 DC Neighborhoods With the Highest Home Price Appreciation in 2019
As the year comes to a close, UrbanTurf is taking its bi-annual look at the neighborhoods across the city that have seen the highest home price appreciation during the year.
In the table below, we outline the
seven DC neighborhoods that have seen the largest increase in home values in
2019. In order to qualify for the list, a neighborhood had to record at least
20 sales this year. UrbanTurf used advertised subdivision statistics from
Bright MLS to compile the list.

Those of us on the block of Seaton Pl NW near
North Capitol couldn't get sleep last night for inconsiderate loudness of
music at 2:24 a.m. - audible in the clip.
