A Fresh Start to a New Year
Thanks to everyone who came out for Mayor Bowser’s Second Annual Fresh Start 5K. Whether you ran, jogged or walked, you started the year off right. Remember, any time you’re out and about, record your steps toward the District’s Billion Steps Challenge. You’ve put in the hard work, so you deserve the credit! We’ll have another fun run in April - stay tuned for details. In the meantime, enjoy a free workout at a Department of Parks and Recreation fitness center.
9:30 Club - A DC Institution
There’s
no denying that DC is a music city. How many places can boast the
likes of Duke Ellington, Dave Grohl and Wale, who all got their start in
the District? And we’re fortunate to have so many musical venues that
feature live music. Just this week, the 9:30 Club celebrated its 35th
anniversary. The 9:30 Club is often referred to as one the greatest
nightclubs in America, and they continue to bring great music to
District residents and visitors. On Wednesday, Mayor Bowser had a
chance to celebrate the anniversary with founders Dodi DiSanto and Jon
Bowers, and current owners Seth Hurwitz and Rich Heinecke.
Congratulations on 35 wonderful years, 9:30 Club!
Looking Under the Hood
Today, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development is launching a new Economic Intelligence Dashboard. The site will allow any resident to go online and find DC economic indicators and information about our affordable housing and redevelopment work. You can get a sneak preview here. Transparency and accountability continue to be top priorities for the Bowser Administration.
