It’s all about the neighborhood
ANC 4D meeting on the 16th was about tenants fighting for their rights, teachers fighting for their rights (and fighting to fix the achievement gap and poverty-related issues), a new restaurant (“best wings in DC”), Ward 4 Family Fun day on the 28th and an awesome sounding Skate Jam on July 20th.

Read MoreThe ANC 4C meeting was a contentious meeting. Lights at EL Haynes despised by residents, a new condo on Varnum despised by neighbors, a lack of parking at the proposed development at Latney’s Funeral Home and a visit by the DCRA Director Melinda Bolling rounded out the evening. Oh, and sadly, it was Commissioner Joe Maloney’s last meeting before he resigns (he’s moving to Maryland).

Read MoreIt’s time for “Better Know a Commissioner!”, my blatant rip-off of Stephen Colbert’s series (and for which I am duly sorry). In my version, it’s an opportunity to get to know the ANC commissioners who represent you, even if you didn’t vote for them. You’re their constituents, and you should know who they are, what they do and how they support the community.
This time I’m happy to introduce David Sheon, ANC 4D Commissioner for Single Member District (SMD) 4D04... Read the full interview after the break:
Read MoreThe June ANC 4C meeting is next Tuesday, and I believe is Joe Maloney's last meeting as a commissioner (as he's resigning to move out of the area). ANC 4C will host the June meeting at the Petworth Library in the Community Meeting room on the lower level. The meeting will begin promptly at 6:30pm. I'll be there!

Read MoreTonight was the ANC 4D meeting for May. The most interesting thing about it was learning about the Green Infrastructure plans from DC Water. The ANC also discussed a few restaurants, the Kennedy Street Festival (June 20th) and tried to pass a resolution against pop-ups (no vote happened). Read More for details and pictures.
Read MoreWhile I wasn’t able to attend the ANC 4C meeting this Wednesday (5/13), two people who attended were kind enough to send me notes. Below is an overview of the meeting. If anything is wrong, blame the two kind people. (They asked for anonymity -- but you know who you are, so thanks for the notes!)
The meeting started on time and Commissioners were introduced, including Elisa Irwin, the new ANC 4C03 Commissioner replacing Jeff Standish (he resigned in March in order to move out of the area). I haven't met Ms. Irwin yet, but we're trying to schedule time to meet for an interview.)

Read MoreThe draft agenda for the upcoming ANC 4C meeting next week has been posted. Hopefully we'll get a chance to meet the new 4C03 Commissioner, Elisa Irwin. Ms Irwin won the seat after Commissioner Jeff Standish resigned in March (he and his family are moving to the mid-west).
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend as I have a schedule conflict, but I hope to grab some notes from 2 people who are attending and...
