This reprint of a vintage photograph shows three bathing beauties dancing at the Tidal Basin in front of the Washington Monument in 1923. This photo was colorized using artificial intelligence by the Georgetowner Graphics Department. In the 1920s, swimsuit police were on the lookout during these years of female liberation. At the same time, the Miss America Pageant began, originating in 1921 as a “bathing beauty revue.” The very first Miss America was Margaret Gorman, who hailed from Georgetown. Gorman, a 16-yearold student at Western High School (now the Duke Ellington School of the Arts), lived on Dent Place. She won the Washington Herald photo contest and was named “Miss District of Columbia.”

“We encourage Yellow to come to the neighborhood,” Chair Murphy told William Simons, the general manager of Albi and a spokesperson for Yellow – a popup cafe – opening soon at 1524 Wisconsin Ave. NW. Until a settlement agreement is reached, however, the ANC will protest the establishment’s application for a “Class C” license based on the potential “impact on peace, order and quiet in the neighborhood.”

GEORGETOWN MINISTRY CENTER

Lynne Golub-Rofrano, founding executive director of Georgetown Village provided an update on the senior services center at 1680 Wisconsin Ave. NW. “We never closed our doors during the pandemic,” she said. The center maintains a loaning closet of durable medical equipment to lend on a short- or long-term basis, if needed. As a membership

Commissioner Lohse also proposed a request for a “joint clarification” from DDOT

and Rock Creek National Park Service (NPS) explaining the delay of over a “year and a-half” in installing a Capital Bikeshare Station at Rose Park after “all agencies” had supported the measure in 2019.

ANC HYDE-ADDISONRESOLUTIONS

Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Philip Robinson of the Second District said that no violent crimes were reported in August. Motor vehicle thefts, however, rose from two in July to five in August (with two of the stolen autos recovered). Thefts-from-autos rose from eight in July to 12 in August. And property thefts rose from 31 in July to 54 in August. Robinson emphasized, however, that most of the vehicle thefts were due to owners leaving keys in cars and the majority of property thefts were targeted against particular clothing and cosmetics retailers for which MPD is formulating a tactical response with “two overtime units Commissionerdetailed.”Elizabeth Miller (2E07) raised the alarm about package thefts reported by her constituents. Robinson agreed to discuss reviewing Nextdoor Georgetown reportings with the department and Miller. Gwendolyn Lohse (2E06) inquired about thefts targeting outdoor diners. Snatching wallets and purses from diners “has not been a trend in the Georgetown community,” Robinson said.

Following a brief presentation from BellRinger executive director Chris Timco, the ANC voted unanimously to approve BellRinger’s Oct. 22 fundraising Bike Ride to support cancer research at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Care Center. Up to 1,000 riders are expected for the event, but once underway should be clear of Georgetown by 8:30 a.m. For more information, visit BellRinger.org.

GEORGETOWN VILLAGE NEEDS NEW HOME

BY CHISTOPHER JONES

The ANC approved Commissioner Palmer’s proposal to urge the Department of Public Works (DPW) to more strictly enforce parking regulations – especially against double parking – on M Street between 28th and 34th Streets NW, on 20th Street between M and Olive Streets NW, and on 31st Street between M and South Streets NW.

Owing to “significant impacts in our community” and “disruptions in the neighborhood,” Commissioner Palmer proposed a resolution to withdraw ANC support for the Lawyers Have Heart 10K and 5K races in Georgetown. Year after year, she argued, organizers for the event have promised to reduce noise, traffic disturbances and other chaotic factors, such as poorly placed toilet facilities from the annual run/ walk fundraiser for the American Heart Association. “Residents have simply had enough,” Palmer said. Although he has run in the fundraiser for many years, Chair Murphy agreed. “I hate to see it go but Commissioner Palmer is right,” he said.

REPORT FROM MAYOR BOWSER’S OFFICE

Following a site visit with D.C. Council members Brooke Pinto (Ward 2) and Robert White (at-Large), Commissioner Putta offered a resolution urging that Hyde-Addison school receive from the city all needed repairs and maintenance. “We did see things with our own eyes that I thought were worth mentioning,” Putta said. Indoor stacks of poles from outdoor tents had not been moved for over a year, and the new projector for the auditorium/cafeteria has also gone a year without repair.

Recalling that “DC Chicken and Gyro terrorized the neighborhood,” with noisy and disruptive drivers “well into the wee hours of the morning,” the ANC voted unanimously to inform the DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) that it opposes allowing the landlord of the premises of 3147 Dumbarton St. NW to contemplate the establishment of another “food delivery service” at the location contrary to zoning regulations.

Julius Terry of the Mayor’s Office of Community Relations (MOCRS) announced the mayor’s 2022 Back to School Guide. In response to complaints from Chair Murphy and Elizabeth Miller (2E07) about 311 requests reported as “resolved” prematurely, Terry stated that he will review how the city handles such requests. Commissioner Lohse suggested a stern ANC resolution should help support such a review. Kishan Putta (2E01) conveyed constituent complaints about swimming pools at Jelleff and Volta Park closing long before Labor Day despite the heat in August getting “worse and worse.”

The Georgetown-Burleith Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC 2E) held its September 2022 virtual meeting on Aug. 29. The following is an abbreviated report. A full version of this report is online at Georgetowner.com.

GMC’s executive director Kelly Andreae called to offer some helpful statistics on Georgetown’s homelessness problem. Of the 90 guests GMC recently matched with housing, Andreae reported one-third were placed in transitional housing, one-third in permanent housing and one-third were “choosing to remain outside.” Even if such

individuals are assigned caseworkers, there are “a lot of barriers” to placing “chronically homeless individuals” in housing, she said. As homeless migrants — mostly single adults — are being bussed to Union Station, GMC has begun to discover through its street outreach programs that the immigrants are arriving in increasing numbers into Georgetown, though they have not yet begun to line up for GMC services. “In recent days, GMC has seen a substantial increase in those individuals,” Andreae said. “GMC is a very important resource in our community and they do great work,” Chair Rick Murphy proclaimed.

BELLRINGER BIKE RIDE EXPECTS 1,000

French chef Gilles Epié plans to open a restaurant on M Street in late September or October. It will be called L’Avant-Garde and be in the building — appropriately enough — which once housed the legendary restaurant, The Guards, at 2915 M St. NW. L’Annexe — part of the ownership of Epié’s restaurant — is next door. Epié has held the title of executive chef since May.

At the Aug. 29 Georgetown-Burleith Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting, Nick Manos, director of construction and facilities for restaurateur Stephen Starr of Le Diplomate fame, provided a quick powerpoint update on the latest plans for Starr’s proposed mega-Italian, 312-seat restaurant and market at 3276 M St. NW, site of the old Dean & DeLuca. The plans to be presented to the Old Georgetown Board (OGB) call for sensitivity to the “historical significance of the building” and the “historical value of the signage” on the facade. There will be a center oval bar, along with a mozzarella and a prosciutto bar. The front entrance will house a grocery section. The side awning and tent space will be converted to a bright white windowed solarium. “We’ll be making existing structures even better,” Manos said. The ANC fully endorsed Starr’s proposals. “The second half of 2023 is way too late,” for the restaurant’s opening, ANC 2E Chair Rick Murphy quipped. No name has been announced yet for the eatery.

D.C. SUES BITCOIN EVANGELIST MICHAEL SAYLOR FOR $25 MILLION IN UNPAID TAXES

MicroStrategy has not commented on the allegations.

Born in Kalorama in 1935, Moore was a sixth-generation Washingtonian, whose work can be seen all around the city, the region — and in Georgetown. He went to St. Albans School and then earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from PrincetonMoore’sUniversity.firstproject was the Canal Square mixed-used complex on M Street which borders 31st Street as well as the C&O Canal and includes the building that housed Henry Hollerith’s company that became IBM. He also built the Foundry Building and renovated the Old Foundry Building that stand in front of the C&O Canal between 30th and Thomas Jefferson Streets. His other works include Harborside (next to Washington Harbour), the Cairo, the Goh Annex of the Phillis Collection, Foxhall Crescents, Portals, Rizik’s and private residences.

Moore will be laid to rest at Oak Hill Cemetery on R Street in Georgetown.

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) alleges “that Saylor illegally avoided more than $25 million in D.C. taxes by pretending to be a resident of other jurisdictions with lower personal income taxes. OAG also alleges that MicroStrategy had detailed information confirming that Saylor was in fact a D.C. resident, but instead of accurately reporting his address to local and federal tax authorities and withholding D.C. taxes, collaborated with Saylor to facilitate his tax evasion.”

MORE ON STEPHEN STARR’S MEGAITALIAN RESTAURANT ON M STREET

In the 1980s and ’90s, Moore and his wife lived in the tall, light-bricked building that he designed, west of the Georgetown Exxon on Canal Road, before retiring to the Watergate. They had a home in Talbot County, Maryland.

Epié told The Georgetowner on Aug. 30 that the menu is not quite set, but that it would contain “the best of best ingredients,” adding, “the stars are the ingredients.” After all, he noted, “Simplicity is the hardest.” The menu will be a la carte. He expects the average meal to be under $100 — “$55 to $85.” “Everything is going to be classic,” Epié said. “Nothing fancy… Fine dining is over.”

The OAG continues: “Michael Saylor … has publicly called the District’s Georgetown neighborhood home since about 2005. He lives in a 7,000-square-foot penthouse on the Georgetown waterfront and has docked at least two of his luxury yachts in the District for long periods of time. Saylor’s net worth is estimated to be more than $1 billion, and he has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in ordinary income and capital gains since 2005.”

BY ROBERT DEVANEY

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine announced on Aug. 31 a tax fraud lawsuit “against Michael J. Saylor, a billionaire technology executive who has resided in the District of Columbia for more than a decade but has never paid any D.C. income taxes — despite earning hundreds of millions of dollars. The lawsuit also names MicroStrategy — a publicly-traded data tracking company Saylor co-founded — as a defendant, alleging that it conspired to help him evade taxes he legally owes.”

A giant of Washington architecture has passed. Arthur Cotton Moore, who designed Georgetown’s Washington Harbour, bringing new life to the Potomac waterfront, and who led the stunning historic preservation and restorations of the Library of Congress and the Old Post Office building, died Sept. 4 at the age of 87 of pulmonary fibrosis.

Today, Restaurant L’Avant-Garde is quietly being assembled and sees itself, Epié said, as “a high-end French brasserie.” Yes, there will be scrambled eggs with caviar, he assured us. Some smile that Epié is setting up his new restaurant close to where Citronelle used to be, just across on 30th Street. A friend of Epié, the beloved chef Michel Richard, who died in 2016, held court there for years until it closed in 2012.

I go to Art class each week with Ms. Jennifer, who lives in Georgetown. She has a house with an Art studio. The studio has A LOT of Art supplies and a HUGE table to do Art on. Ms. Jennifer is a professional artist who knows SO much. My neighborhood girlfriends – Ellie, Jackie, Violet, and Maya – are in the class with me. Before class we usually get a treat at Dent Market. I also take Art at Beauvoir with Ms. Hay, who is AMAZING. Sometimes I also go to All Fired Up to make my Dad gifts. When I was younger, I went to Anna Banana and learned about modern Art. My neighbor, Martha, is an artist. She has a paint studio near Montrose Park. She is really GOOD!

These are clay. I made the fish by drawing the fish on paper and then cutting the clay.

Art is not about right or wrong; if you try your hardest, you will succeed… Art is not a competition, it is a matter of taking your time and going with the flow towards an idea… or just enjoying what you see.

Many member-focused organizations like CAG, during the time of social distancing, suffered due to lack of being able to gather and put on events. Now, they are in the process of working to rebuild membership.

Visit www.cagtown.org for more information. (CAG is interviewing for a new executive director.)

CAG President Tara Sakraida Parker and Vice President-Treasurer Larry Flanagan tell The Georgetowner: “CAG is almost 150 years old but we are constantly changing with the times. As we approach 2023, expect to see our new approach to public safety and a newly formed Public Health Committee, to name just a few initiatives. These topics, and others, are what matters most importantly to our neighbors but require funding to deliver programs that keep Georgetown a beautiful, safe and desirable place to live. We’re a membership organization and hope that all of our neighbors will join, volunteer and donate. Why? Because this is where we all live!”

The Citizens Association of Georgetown (CAG) is an organization focused on the beautification, public safety and historical preservation of the neighborhood. Founded in 1878, CAG is the oldest citizens association in the U.S. and continues to serve the community through lively fundraising events, civic engagement groups and other initiatives like Oral History Interviews and Public Safety Updates. CAG gives Georgetown residents a chance to have their voices heard and work in conjunction with other neighborhood groups.

Last year, CAG opened its new headquarters at 1058 30th St. NW, next to the C&O Canal, thanks to a million-dollar legacy gift from Beverly Sullivan and A. Michael Sullivan, Jr.

Georgetown is a very special neighborhood — with deep historic roots, charming brick sidewalks and quaint row houses – and is truly like no other. However, what makes Georgetown even more special are the warm, welcoming neighbors who fill these homes. Today, post-pandemic, people are looking to get back involved with the community and connect with old friends as well as new faces.

tribute to the neighboring Ukrainian Embassy, which is on M Street in Georgetown.

We agree with the Post: “The D.C. Council… must do its own soul-searching. The council has enacted measures — such as halting police hiring and abolishing school resource officers — and employed rhetoric that made police feel like they were the enemy, making law enforcement’s job harder and the city less safe. The council cannot, as it has so often done, brush aside the concerns that police and prosecutors express about these changes. No

Yes, all of this is complicated. There are age-old problems loose in the land. Still, we must be safe, laws must be enforced — and the people and our leaders must be in agreement on how to proceed. We and our children deserve nothing less. It is a matter of domestic tranquility, respect and justice.

the tragic loss of Stephon Johns, an employee of the Georgetown Business Improvement District, fatally shot Aug. 11 at the intersection of Florida and Connecticut Avenues NW.

times with a cough. On a summer road trip along the famed Route 66 trail, I had to drive through 115-degree heat. I thought that was bad. But then a few years later, my daughter took on a job in the U.S. Forest Service stationed in Oregon and she was immediately detailed to forest firefighting rather than trail maintenance. In her first days after arriving in Portland the temperature rose to nearly 120 degrees. While the Oregon locals – many of whom didn’t have air conditioning – were overwhelmed by the infernal temperatures, she didn’t find it as intolerable. It wasn’t as humid as the D.C. area so it didn’t feel like D.C. in Today’sAugust.Washington Post has a headline

Everywhere we look we see the effects of the climate crisis – whether we wish to or not. Here in the suburbs of northern Virginia just outside of D.C., it’s becoming more tropical. Our neighbors several years ago planted banana trees. I was convinced the tropical species would never survive. Certainly, the tiny trees would freeze in the winter. But that was then. Now, just a decade later, their broad-leafed green wonders have grown to provide a lush sun-shielding canopy, much needed with the pressing heat. Maybe we’ll plant some too.

Also coming to light, the hidden costs of the climate crisis: heat-related deaths (particularly in minority communities and among the elderly), the spread of infectious diseases, increased prices for crops and energy fueling inflation, invasive species, ticks, waterways choked with algae, coral reef bleaching, species extinction, infrastructure damage –recent flooding in Jackson Mississippi laid waste to the city’s entire water infrastructure and flooding a few weeks ago in Kentucky swept away whole communities.

Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner Kishan Putta. “We definitely will get out ahead of this situation next year and make sure the pools stay open even on weekends in September as they always used to be.”

D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee has said: “If you see a 13- or 14-year-old out at 2 o’clock in the morning, something is wrong with that picture.” And who knew that there is technically a curfew for D.C. children already on the books?

A Sliver of Hope on the Climate Crisis

As the weather has warmed, I’ve stopped sheltering our fig trees from the winter cold – no need. Even our potted raspberries and strawberries sprout in the spring after being mistakenly left outside all winter. We used to quickly close our house doors to keep the bugs out, but these days with a mass die-off they aren’t in such great numbers to worry about. Keeping an eye on our butterfly garden I’m always thrilled to see a monarch since they’re also on the way to extinction and they don’t pay daily visits to our garden in the summer as they used to.

When it was colder, I used to put my motorcycle away for the winter, but now I keep it ready to ride when temperatures are so often spring-like in the winter months. The down jackets I used to wear in the winter haven’t been taken out of the closet in years.

As kids growing up in Arlington, Virginia we all had well-worn Flexible Flyer sleds and couldn’t wait to use them when the snows came and school was closed. We loved sledding with our friends down the steep snow-embanked streets. When my own kids were young, we gave them their own Flexible Flyers for Christmas. But these sleds with their metal rails for ice remained in the attic and we ended up using plastic discs for the ever slushier and less frequent snows.

It was an exceptionally hot August and early September this summer as families and residents tried to enjoy the last of the vacation and home days before heading back to work and school indoors the rest of the year. District residents are particularly blessed that the city has invested in numerous beautiful swimming pools in almost every neighborhood. They are well maintained and well staffed by District youths trained in the D.C. summer jobs programs and are free.

BY CHRISTOPHER JONES

“No September on record in the West has seen a heat wave like this.” In the past week “1000 heat records have been broken,” weather specialist Jason Samenow wrote. On the news we see that the Colorado River – a major water source for 7 states – is drying up, that bodies are being discovered on the drying bed of the largest reservoir in the U.S. at Lake Mead near the Hoover Dam, that two-thirds of Pakistan is submerged in record monsoon rains, that the heatwave in China is the “most severe ever recorded in the world,” that the Loire River of France is nearly completely dry, that the “world’s largest iceberg breaks off” in Antarctica’s Weddell Sea, and on and on.

Post columnist Colby King wrote in a Sept. 9 column of the need for curfews for children under 16 years of age. Some object, saying crimes happen after school lets out. King countered: “Regardless of whether it happened at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or 12 hours later, Isreal Akingbesote lost his life, allegedly at the hands of children.” (Akingbesote was running a gas station in Clinton and stabbed many times.) “That is where the focus belongs. It’s the heart of the problem.”

Are We Normalizing Crime?

The massive oak trees of our Poplar Heights, Falls Church neighborhood are quickly dying off, falling to years of extreme heat, high winds, drought, and record-breaking rains.

But this year it was more than disappointing, it was a shock to discover such popular and beautiful swimming pools as Volta Park and the Jelleff Recreation Center were closed weeks before Labor Day. Weeks! “Imagine having to tell kids that sweltered through invigorating activities at the popular summer camp program at Jelleff Recreation Center, that the beautiful pool they had used all summer and was filled and shimmering right next to the sports field was suddenly locked down,” said Georgetown-Burleith

one should want a return to the bad old days of draconian sentences and mass incarceration.

As we began to write this editorial, we noticed lots of commentary on the growing persistence of crime, close to home and across theWenation.noted

The Washington Post jumped in with its Sept. 11 editorial on the perceived crime wave and the need for a crime summit in the District and the region. It mentioned a 25-yearold killed on Aug. 10, while installing solar panels. On Aug. 24, Mundo Verde Bilingual Public Charter School went on lockdown with gunshots heard — result: two men dead; three others injured nearby.

The main reason given for the closures seems to be the dependence of the DC Parks and Recreation department on youth summer jobs program participants as pool staff. The programs end in mid-August as most of the young people have to get ready to return to school.Butthe pools are public pools for everyone of all ages – not just school kids. DCPR needs to find more diverse sources for life guards. The Georgetowner has a suggestion. T here are many energetic retirees and part time workers in D.C. and Georgetown who were former life guards. Why not reach out to them to build a flexible and diverse life guard corps that could help in the city’s beautiful pools during the summer.

Last year, the Director of the District’s Department of Energy and the Environment, Tommy Wells, told The Georgetowner that the meteorological lines determining growing seasons for plants, shrubs and trees in our region have shifted far to the south in recent years. “Our new growing band in the next 30 years or so will be Nashville, Tennessee. So, our climate will be similar.”

President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is intended to “decrease greenhouse gas emissions by about 40 percent below 2005 levels in 2030 –positioning America to meet… [the] climate goals of cutting [such emissions] at least in half in 2030 and reaching net zero by no later than 2050,” according to the White House. And in England, Charles III – a longtime and staunch advocate of wilderness conservation and climate action – has ascended the throne.

On my last three trips to the west coast, I’ve had to take into account where the wildfires are raging and the heat waves are dangerous. From the smokey winds, I’ve returned a few

But, in the interest of correcting past mistakes, the District must not swing too far in the other direction, creating a culture in which people engage in wrongdoing because they think there are few consequences.”

A sliver indeed. But maybe the global political climate is beginning to shift to address the mounting climate crisis before our eyes. In the meantime, I’m going to go check if there are any monarchs visiting our butterfly garden.

This exhibition provides a lens into the lived experience of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima through t wo unique bodies of work: a series of silkscreen prints by Jacob Lawrence and d rawings by students at Hiroshima’s Honkawa Elementary School. In 1983, Lawrence illustrated John Hersey’s “Hiroshima,” a vivid account of six survivors of the atomic bomb. His haunting illustrations depict figures with uniform, skull-like heads, cloaked in dissonant shades of pink, red, yellow and blue. Thirty-five years earlier, in 1947, the children of Honkowa sent a portfolio of drawings to the children of All Souls Church, Unitarian, in Washington, D.C., to thank them for supplies they had sent a s part of their peace ministry. The Honkowa children’s vibrant scenes of everyday life are an extraordinary testament to their resilience in the aftermath of the b ombing, which killed more than 400 students in their school alone. “Jacob Lawrence and the Children of

Now open at the National Mall

An e nveloping, hour-long symphony of image and sound, “Purple” — a major video work by London artist John Akomfrah — weaves together original film with archival footage against a hypnotic score, surveying a variety of disappearing landscapes, including parts of Alaska, Greenland, the Tahitian Peninsula and the South Pacific’s volcanic Marquesas Islands. Akomfrah’s striking images mingle with historical recordings of coal mines, polluted lakes and factory labor, set against a resonant soundtrack of original music, archival recordings and spoken word. The video will play across six large screens arranged in an arc, mirroring the Hirshhorn’s curved architecture. Carpet in a deep shade of purple — the color of mourning in Ghana, Akomfrah’s country of origin — will blanket the floors and walls, reminding viewers of the losses brought about by environmental devastation. In Akomfrah words: “I think there is a special significance of the Hirshhorn’s proximity to the major center of power on our planet — the spaces in which key decisions need to be made in environmental policy in the United States — and I hope the questions that ‘Purple’ raises about the environmental

In Japan, paintings of birds and flowers appeared during the 8th to 12th centuries as a popular motif for portraying the seasons and depicting the majesty of the natural world. Opulent arrangements of bird species, vegetation and landscapes also presented perfect opportunities for Japanese artists — with their deep traditions of ink and brush — to showcase their virtuosic brushwork and techniques. Featuring hanging scroll paintings, folding screens, ceramics and printed books, this exhibition explores how Japanese artists experimented over several centuries with depictions of birds and their environs. The colors and contours of feathers, plumage, flowers and foliage mingle throughout the show in a kaleidoscope of natural wonder.

140 oils, watercolors, drawings and neverbefore published photographs — several almost certainly taken by Sargent himself — the exhibition will be a rich encounter with, arguably, the most virtuosic painter in American history.

“One Life: Maya Lin” is the first biographical exhibition of the architect, sculptor and environmentalist who catapulted to global prominence at age 21 with her controversialat-the-time design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1982. Lin, who has spent more than four decades making work that centers on history and human rights, describes her practice as “a systematic ordering of the land that is tied to history, time and language.” The exhibition traces Lin’s life from her childhood to today through a range of photographs, sculptures, personal ephemera, sketchbooks, architectural models and images of her completed works. An element of Lin’s project “What Is Missing?” — which invites viewers to share memories of natural elements that have vanished during their lifetimes — will also be on view.

Visitors can relive the cathedral’s extraordinary saga, from its medieval construction through key historical events — such as the coronation of Napoleon and the marriage of Henri IV — up to the ongoing reconstruction following the 2019 fire. The exhibition features previously unpublished giant photographs of the cathedral, 3D models of a gargoyle and a cathedral statue, faux stone tile flooring and stained-glass windows replicating the cathedral’s décor, including a projection of the rose window that miraculously survived the fire, along with audio of NotreDame’s organs and tolling bells.

Objectors called it “a black gash of shame and sorrow,” “a nihilistic slab of stone.” At one point the project’s building permit was delayed due to the political opposition. Issues were ultimately worked out — in part by the addition of a bronze sculpture by Frederick Hart featuring three young soldiers (which, as far as these things go, is not bad) — and Lin’s design was left more or less intact.

Today, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall is the most visited war memorial in Washington — and in many ways the most beloved. While some of that is the straightforward stuff of how many people touched by that war are still around today to visit the memorial (and to drag their families along with them), a lot of it also has to do with the quiet power and

starkly overwhelming beauty of the memorial experience in itself.

Opening on Sept. 30 at the National Portrait Gallery, “One Life: Maya Lin” is an intimate exhibition tracing Lin’s life from childhood to the present. In consultation with the artist herself, this latest edition of the museum’s “One Life” series will bring together an assortment of Lin’s sculptures, sketchbooks and creative material, as well as family photographs and personal ephemera, to offer insight into Lin’s artistic process and remarkable career.

“This is not a retrospective,” says exhibition curator Dorothy Moss. “It doesn’t represent the breadth of her work. But we hope that audiences will walk away with

As Lin’s career progressed, so did the alarm around climate change and the need for environmental activism. Last year, she created one of the most powerful art installations ever to address climate change. “Ghost Forest” was a towering stand of 49 dead cedar trees in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park, erected to raise awareness of ecosystem die-off.

“One Life: Maya Lin” will surely offer audiences a new way of understanding the artist herself.

There aren’t many artists in the last 50 years who will have more impact on the world than Maya Lin. I’m not talking about the “art world” — that ill-defined stratosphere increasingly controlled by jacked up billionaires and their dealers — but the real, lived-in world of regular people. People who go on hikes, who visit crowded cultural landmarks on vacation, who have children, who have lost loved ones, who are concerned about the future and who carry hope with them anyway.

Lin was hurled into the public eye in 1981 when her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was selected through a nationwide competition and became a subject of national controversy. The design was an unadorned wall of black stone, sunken below ground level in a V-shaped trench. There were no pictures, no sculptures, nothing physically representative of the war itself. Just the names, etched in the stone, of the 58,318 servicemen and women who lost their lives during the war.

That may seem hyperbolic, but I’m willing to bet time will bear me out.

Gallery Article 15 — a unique gallery specializing in Congolese contemporary art — is opening at 1624 Wisconsin Ave. NW soon. Founded by Elizabeth Jaffee, a Georgetown resident, the Book Hill gallery is the first and only commercial art gallery in the U.S. focused exclusively on contemporary Congolese art. It works to support young Congolese artists through the Gallery Article 15 Young Artists Collective. Jaffee began collecting contemporary Congolese art in 2008, while serving at the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

COMING: ALKOVA

As first reported by UrbanTurf, “Yoga clothing and accessory company Alo Yoga appears to be taking over the prime Georgetown retail space currently occupied by Banana Republic at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and M Street NW. Plans filed with D.C.’s Historic Preservation Review Board outline a series of changes to the exterior of 3200 M Street NW to make way for the new tenant.” It is uncertain when Banana Republic will close.

Church, the former beer hall at 1070 Wisconsin Ave. NW, has transitioned to a 23-and-up bar during the evening and operates a cafe, opening at 8 a.m. Still owned by hospitality group Tin Shop, the 9,000-squarefoot Clubhouse looks to be for real grownups after being tagged as a college hang-out. “We’ve had problems with ABRA [Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration], and fake IDs are crazy good these days,” Tin Shop co-founder Geoff Dawson told DC Eater. “We’re not fighting students. We want them to be of age and a little more grown up than ‘this is my first night out drinking.’ ” The more sophisticated menu will include wine, cocktails and fancy pizzas and burgers, along with parmesan truffle fries, burrata and caprese salads and oysters. As it is called Clubhouse, operator Tin Shop is offering a new Social Club for regular patrons to get free drinks or food.

Hobo Bags, founded in 1991 by motherdaughter duo Toni and Koren Ray, will be setting up shop at 1265 Wisconsin Ave. NW in the former John Fluevog space in October.

Tugooh Toys relocated a few doors north to 1440 Wisconsin Ave. NW., the former location of Wisey’s.

Coming soon to 1510 Wisconsin Ave. NW, the former spot of Luigi Parasmo Salon and Spa, will be Alkova yoga and co-working. “We’ve created a place where you can peacefully work, practice yoga, or both,” Alkova tells us. “This space, like an alcove in a city, is a respite from the disconnection present in the outside world….”

The Bourbon Concierge is setting up at 2816 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, in the former spot of Cafe Tu-O-Tu. The family-owned business was founded in 1995 and specializes in highend, collectible spirits. While not related, the shop is steps from Bourbon Steak, the restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Georgetown Wine & Spirits at 2701 P St. NW — opened in 1934 as a neighborhood market and has been run as a liquor store since the 1950s — has a new owner. Nate Smith, a consultant whose family has been in the hospitality industries, purchased the business for about $400,000 from the Kapoor family. The property is owned by Bob Enzel, native Washingtonian and Georgetowner, who lives nearby, and also owns the former 7-Eleven building. Smith lives near the Navy Yard, while his wife, Sana Bokil, will continue to work as a cancer specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. Store manager Pascal Valadier will remain.

Founded more than 70 years ago, Wolford, the Austrian Apparel and Skinwear brand, will open its first Washington, D.C., boutique in Georgetown this fall. The brand signed a ten-year lease with EastBanc for nearly 1,000 square-feet within the redevelopment of 1238 Wisconsin Avenue NW, bringing sophisticated readyto-wear, athleisure, knits, legwear, lingerie, accessories and more to the neighborhood. It will be Wolford’s 23rd store in the U.S.

“Crafted for a long-term relationship and made better by use and wear,” as the company says, Hobo’s purses and wallets have achieved iconic status in the industry — and with millions of women.

Soulier shoes moved to 1434 Wisconsin Ave. NW. last month.

Rose Park in Georgetown between P St. and M St. NW bordering the Rock Creek parkway was acquired by the District in the summer of 1922 from the Ancient Order of the Sons and Daughters of Moses that had developed it to serve African American children, The segregation rules of the time, however, were ignored by racially integrated Georgetown residents. The park hosts baseball teams (the Rose Park Warriors were famous), summer camps, family picnics, two playgrounds, holiday events, a farmers market (every Wednesday), concerts and tennis tournaments on courts named in 2015 by the Friends of Rose Park to honor national tennis champions Margaret and Roumania Peters who had lived across the street in the 1930s, and returned in the 50s to teach tennis there. A 100th birthday party and a gala will be held Sept. 21 and 22.

If a specific place, school, business or group can hit the centennial mark, it’s an achievement in our all-too-quick and human world. Still, Georgetown boasts quite a few. It’s worth noting that W.T. Weaver & Sons, one of the country’s oldest decorative bath and hardware firms, has gone far beyond that mark. Owned by Bryce Weaver and Michael Weaver, it’s a fourth-generation, familyowned business that’s been serving the needs of its Georgetown and Washington clients sinceHerewith,1889.

a selection of others who mark a centennial in 2022 (or come close):

In 1921, American diplomat Robert Bliss and his wife Mildred bought the Dumbarton Oaks mansion and acreage. For the next 15 years, Mildred and landscape architect Beatrix Ferrand – the niece of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Edith Wharton with whom the Blisses had become close during the war years in Paris – developed multiple garden rooms with custom gates, benches, filials and sculptures on the various terraces of the estate. The gardens made Ferrand famous. “While she didn’t use the words ‘climate change,’ the garden plans left much flexibility for new species evolving because of changing conditions,” garden superintendent Jonathan Kavalier noted. The gardens and mansion museum filled with the Bliss’s special collections of Colombian art, was given to Harvard University in 1941 while the wooded wilderness was given to the U.S. National Parks service to develop a public park. In 1944, a series of important diplomatic meetings --The Dumbarton Oaks Conversations – also led to the establishment of the United Nations in 1945.

When Vanussa Mendes purchased Georgetown Hairstyling, the beyond centuryold barber shop business on 35th Street, in 2015, she knew she was also buying into local history. “It will be operated in the same way as before for our clients,” Mendes said of the men’s haircut spot. A favorite of Georgetown residents and students for decades — with the names of past barbers Rigo Landa and Ed Lara in their stories — the place is a classic. Today, most of the staffers are women, including Veronica Corado, who cuts men’s hair only.

This spring, Morgan Care Pharmacy, the 110-year-old business at the corner of 30th and P Streets NW, got a new owner — 33-year-old Sahar Kassem, who earned her doctorate of pharmacology at Howard University. Customers recall pharmacists Barry Deutschman and Dr. Mike Kim. “We treat people like family at Morgan’s,” Kassem said. “That’s what people love about this place. It feels familiar to them.” She told The Georgetowner that the details that make Morgan’s the “gem” that it is — such as Maurice Brown, attentive staffer at the register, who has been greeting customers with a smile for more than a decade — are not going anywhere.

Inspired by the Parthenon, the memorial centers on a statue of the seated 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Inscriptions on the interior walls feature his Gettysburg Address and Second Inaugural Address. Nearby murals depict the reunification of the United States after the Civil War as well as the emancipation of

more than 4,000,000 enslaved persons. The sculpture is by Daniel Chester French; the building by Henry Bacon. The National Mall would be impossible without this symbolically powerful structure: Think of Marian Anderson in 1939, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1963, protestors against the Vietnam War, and so many other demonstrations since.

The large staircase lobby of the historic mansion on the corner of New Hampshire Ave. and Q St. NW is filled with ten immense framed collages. Created by WNDC members, each portrays a decade in the life of the club, founded in 1922 after the passage of the 19th A mendment that gave women the right to vote. For 100 years the WNDC has held biweekly meetings on current events, supported women candidates and hosted almost every Democratic president. Eleanor Roosevelt was an active member; her granddaughter was just recently president. At their Diamond Jubilee, Nancy Pelosi proclaimed “The WNDC is the heart of the Democratic Party.”

A ménage à trois of brick townhouses on the 1700 block of N Street NW, the Tabard Inn is marking 100 years since its launch in 1922 as a small hotel and tea room. Founder Marie Willoughby Rogers chose the name Tabard Inn to evoke the hostelry in Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” The Queen Anne-style buildings to either side of Italian Renaissancestyle 1739 N St. NW were incorporated in the years that followed, creating a charmingly quirky interior of staircases, passageways and odd-sized rooms. During World War II, the Tabard provided officers’ quarters for

Tabard Inn.

The “first museum of modern art” in the United States and one of D.C.’s hidden gallery treasures, The Phillips Collection opened to the public in 1921 in the Dupont circle Georgian mansion of the Phillips family, of steel and banking renown. Surviving founder Duncan Phillips (1866-1966) – author of The Enchantment of Art, 1914 -- gained a passion for modern art from his European travels, trips to N.Y.’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and D.C.’s Corcoran Gallery of Art. Creating a museum in the nation’s capital where “one could capture the art of the past and the present on equal terms,” served as one of his guiding objectives.

the WAVES, the women’s branch of the U.S. Naval Reserve. After Rogers died in 1970, Fritzi and Edward Cohen — a public-interest lawyer and Capitol Hill staffer, respectively — rescued the Tabard from proposed demolition, reopening it in 1974. Three years later, the inn’s restaurant was reborn under Margee Wright and Nora Pouillon (Pouillon proceeded to pioneer organic cuisine at Restaurant Nora nearby). The oldest hotel in the District continuously owned and operated by women, the Tabard Inn was added to the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites and the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.

THE WASHINGTON D.C. ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS (DCAR), 1922

Before becoming DCAR, the association today representing more than 2800 realtors in D.C. was once known as the Washington, D.C. Association of Realtors. They then combined with the Montgomery County Association of Realtors to form the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors or WDCAR. The NAR is one of the only associations in D.C. to afford a state status. 100 years ago, they became the District of Columbia Association of Realtors to reflect the emphasis of the state status. “We call ourselves the voice of real estate in D.C.,” DCAR says.

GLEN ECHO PARK DENTZEL CAROUSEL, 1922

The Glen Echo Carousel celebrated 100 years from the spring of 2021 through spring 2022. The carousel was installed in 2021 by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, Pennsylvania. The carousel is one of only 135 functioning antique carousels in the U.S. and one of a few still standing in its original location. The carousel is known as a “menagerie style,” as it has a variety of animals to ride on (including rabbits, ostriches, a giraffe and more).

The “first museum on the National Mall campus,” The Freer Gallery – now the National Museum of Asian Art -- opened to the public close to 100 years ago in 1923. In addition to holding over 45,000 objects of Asian art from the Neolithic Era to the present, the Florentine Renaissance-style gallery holds a “significant group of American works of art largely dating to the late 19th century.” The gallery houses the “world’s largest collection of diverse works by James McNeill Whistler, including the famed Peacock Room.” In 1890 Charles Lang Freer paid an unannounced call to Whistler’s London studio and the two struck up a longtime friendship. Freer ultimately collected more than 1000 of Whistler’s works.

Despite the police raids, drinking culture still managed to thrive and some of the most popular cocktails were invented in this era. Bartenders were required to get creative to cover up the harsh taste of illicit booze. If God gives you lemons, it’s time to make lemon cocktails.

However, it’s claimed that the bees’ knees was invented 100 years ago in 1921.

Even though the three-ingredient recipe of gin, honey and lemon is quite basic, there’s plenty of room for creativity. Try using a floral forward gin such as Hendricks or something a little fruity like Bluecoat elderflower. The type of honey used can also alter the taste. Instead of the basic clover variety, add some wildflower or a buttery-nuanced Tupelo honey.

In the present day, thanks to a worldwide pandemic this decade of the twenties has been more “boring” than “roaring.” It’s time to get the party started. Luckily this time around we won’t have to fly to Paris or sneak in a hidden door to enjoy a cocktail.

Gin cocktails were common, largely because gin was relatively easy for amateur distillers to make. Their efforts yielded an elixir popularly known as “bathtub gin,” which

Logic would have it that the bees’ knees was invented in some American juice joint filled with flappers exhaling the virtuous name as they went on a hoot. “Hey daddy-O, this cocktail is the bees’ knees!”

On the surface, D.C. may have not appeared to be a party town due to Prohibition, but hidden speakeasies were lurking all around town. Possibly, the most famous was U-Street’s Club Caverns where jazz greats Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway played. Legend has it, the venue served up more than just great music.

Another story attributes it to Margaret Tobin Brown, also known as the “Unsinkable Molly Brown,” after surviving the Titanic. She lived in both Denver and France and was known to drink the Bee Knees in Paris’s women-only bars of the time.

IT’S THE BEES’ KNEES!Cocktail of the Month

BY JODY KURASH

Aside from being a jazzy idiom, the moniker also references the use of honey as a sweetener. Not only did the honey turn inferior gin into a sweet, aromatic concoction, but it also made it difficult for the police at the time to detect any trace of alcohol.

Frank Meier, the first head bartender at the Ritz Hotel’s Parisian café created it when they opened that year. At that time, many Americans, such was F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, fled the U.S. for Paris in search of a more permissive party scene. Perhaps the idiomatic phrase made its way across the pond along with the thirsty expats.

But one characteristic cocktail of this time also immortalized the slang of the day -- the bees’ knees. Back in flapper days, phrases like “the bee knees,” “the cat’s pajamas” and “ducky” were used to describe something splendid or stylish.

quickly garnered a reputation for its potency and its astringent flavor. Citrus flavors like lemon and lime were often used to mask the burn. Drinks like the Gin Rickey, the French 75 and the Southside all followed this formula.

boasted a 30-foot bar. Capitol Hill’s beloved dive Tune Inn was a candy store where patrons who knew the secret word could purchase adult treats. Things got so wild at the Krazy Kat Club that municipal authorities publicly identified the venue as a den of vice in 1922.

THE BEE’S KNEES

One hundred years ago, Washington was wrapped up in the “Roaring Twenties” of postwar prosperity, dazzling decadence and jazz. It was a time of culture milestones marked by the opening the Phillips collection, the founding of the Woman’s National Democratic Club and the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial.

Another member was William Bullitt, U.S. ambassador to Russia and France, who’d sought Freud’s counsel when his marriage was falling apart. During their sessions, they discovered they both despised Woodrow Wilson and later collaborated on a biography of the former president that was published in 1966 to “overwhelmingly negative” reviews.

Georgetown resident Kitty Kelley has written several number-one New York Times best-sellers, including “The Family: The Real Story Behind the Bush Dynasty.” Her most recent books include “Capturing Camelot: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the Kennedys” and “Let Freedom Ring: Stanley Tretick’s Iconic Images of the March on Washington.” She serves on the board of BIO (Biographers International Organization) and Washington Independent Review of Books, where this review originally appeared.

admits that when it came to the Nazis, Herr Doktor Freud, a world-shaking intellect known for his revolutionary theories, was “naive… astonishingly naïve.” Others might say dumbfoundingly reckless given that he was determined to live out his days in Vienna even after the Anschluss in March 1938, when Germany annexed Austria.

The plot of Saving Freud centers on how a group of six loving friends of the worldfamous psychoanalyst finally convinced him to leave Austria in 1938 on the jack-boot heels of

The British press heralded his arrival with effusive coverage, and Freud’s new life of freedom gave him great pleasure. As he wrote to his brother in Switzerland: “Our reception was cordial beyond word. We were wafted up on wings of mass psychosis.” He was welcomed into the Royal Society of Medicine and visited by prominent guests like H.G. Wells and Salvador Dali.

rescuers had recreated his consulting room in faithful detail.

At that point, Freud’s adoring circle whirled into action, determined to seek asylum for him and his family in London so he could realize his life’s wish “to die in freedom.” The group included Maria Bonaparte, princess of Greece and Denmark, who lived in Paris as a practicing psychoanalyst after seeking Freud’s help to achieve orgasm. She provided Freud with the protection money he needed to bribe his way to safety.

Hitler’s storm troopers as they invaded Vienna.

Saving Freud seems to have been written for the silver screen, and one can only hope that someone like Steven Spielberg finds his way to this book.

Even as the Nazis banged down the doors of his office and home at Berggasse 19, Sigmund Freud, then 81, still believed he’d be spared the catastrophe that had befallen other Viennese Jews. Without saying a word, he glared at the intruders looting his apartment. Hitler’s minions seemed visibly intimidated. They addressed him as “Herr Professor” and backed out of the apartment, loot in hand, stating they would return at another time.

Andrew Nagorski’s “Saving Freud” ought to be coming to a theater near you. This nonfiction work crackles like a novel and sparks with the razzle-dazzle of a big-screen extravaganza: an unforgettable cast of characters (think “The Dirty Dozen”), spinetingling suspense (“The Day of the Jackal”), a death-defying savior (maybe “Mephisto”), and Nazis — the epitome of evil.

When the Nazis then burned his confiscated books in the public square, Freud seemed unperturbed. “What progress we are making,” he told a patient. “In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.”

“I believe there is nothing worse than to see the people nearest to one lose the very qualities for which one loves them. I was spared that with my father, who was himself to the last minute.”

Freud’s life of freedom ended for good on September 23, 1939, when his pain became excruciating and, as he told his physician, “The torture makes no sense anymore.” Remembering his promise, Dr. Schur gave his patient an injection of morphine which led to Freud’s “peaceful sleep.” As his adored Anna later told a friend:

“This book is definitely not ‘The Sound of Music,’ but it’s part biography and part thriller,” Nagorski told an audience recently gathered at Politics and Prose in Washington, D.C., to discuss the publication of his eighth book. Having written “Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power,” “The Nazi Hunters” and “1941: The Year Germany Lost the War,” the former Newsweek bureau chief has mastered the Nazi terrain.

Interestingly, while revolutionary in his thinking, Freud led a conventional life centered around hearth and home. “I’m all for sexual freedom,” he once remarked, “but not forNagorskimyself.”

being born a Jew. He also considered himself apolitical and therefore safe from the upheaval thrashing around him.

Freud could’ve escaped years before, but he refused to join the hordes of Jews fleeing Vienna in the early 1930s. Referring to himself as a “Godless Jew” and an atheist, he maintained he was immune from persecution because he was not religious. His sole allegiance to Judaism, he said, was to not deny BY KITTY KELLEY

Also part of the group was Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham, granddaughter of the renowned jeweler who founded Tiffany & Co., who became the lifelong partner of Freud’s beloved daughter Anna. Next was Ernest Jones, a onetime patient and close friend of Freud, and president of the International Psychoanalytical Association. Jones flew to Vienna in 1938 to insist that Freud leave the country. “This is my home,” the psychoanalyst said. “Your home is the Titanic,” retorted Jones.

Max Schur, who became Freud’s physician and treated him for the throat cancer he suffered as a result of refusing to give up cigars, played a role, too. When Schur’s family emigrated to the U.S. to escape the Nazis, the doctor remained in Vienna until Freud’s departure for England. Only then, after arranging for Freud’s medical care in London, did Schur join his own family in America.

Still, Freud missed Vienna. “The feeling of triumph on being liberated is too strongly mixed with sorrow,” he confided to a friend, “for in spite of everything I still greatly loved the prison from which I have been released.”

‘Saving Freud: The Rescuers Who Brought Him to Freedom’

Dr. Anton Sauerwald, a Nazi bureaucrat, is the shocking thunderbolt in this rescue saga and the team’s unlikeliest member. He was assigned by Nazi high command to rifle through Freud’s financial documents and destroy his historic library, but as an admirer of the pioneer of psychoanalysis, he did neither. Instead, Sauerwald removed evidence of Freud’s foreign bank accounts and arranged for his massive collection of books, papers, and journals to be secretly stored in the Austrian National Library, where they remained hidden until after the war.

Each figure was crucial to the rescue because it took all six working in concert to get Freud to leave his home and office for England, where he spent the remaining 15 months of his life at 20 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead, in North London. There, his
