What about us?

New Chinese Embassy.It seems that every neighborhood of a block or more has a group these days where the residents can share information, experiences, and expertise. Every neighborhood, that is, but the Van Ness area. I know, I know, there is no "Van Ness" area, I believe its official name is North Cleveland Park though I can't imagine why. Why
isn't Cleveland Park known as South Van Ness? But wait, maybe that's another blog entry.

Inside the Van Ness Metro station.
The Van Ness area I'm speaking about is, not surprisingly, around the Van Ness Metro station. There's a lot of houses and mounds of apartments in this area and, therefore, there's a lot of institutional knowledge residing in the neighborhood that could be shared.

So I've created a group for Van Ness area residents and you can find it here. You'll need a Yahoo email address but that's something you can easily get when you're joining the group. So don't hold back, come and share your neighborhood experiences.

Great idea on the mailing list! I've always felt that Van Ness was Cleveland Park's lesser-known sibling. OK, so it's not quite the destination Cleveland Park is, but which neighborhood has the Office Depot I ask you!

Heh.

Thanks for setting up the mailing list. Now, all we need is some traffic.

Right. Plus a university . . . and a . . . and a . . . Chinese Embassy soon . . . and two Indian restaurants, more sandwich shops than we know what to do with, and you can't spit without hitting a dry cleaners. So if you want to get educated, or you get an urge to go to China, have a sandwich or wash your shirts, Van Ness has got you covered. And we haven't even mentioned Calvert Woodley!

Welcome to the group Nanther, thanks for joining.

Speaking of sanwich shops, today's PotBelly's 30th Anniversary.

I also posted this to the mailing list.
