R Street Library Topped Out: Progress Hailed

The Georgetown Public Library, after a severe fire in 2007, is being re-constructed. On Jan. 27, the building was topped out. The steel cupola was autographed by D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Ward 2 councilman Jack Evans and other community leaders and workers before it was raised off the R Street lawn. The afternoon ceremony atop Book Hill marked another milestone for the library's better-than-ever renewal, which is budgeted at more than $15 million. Along with neighborhood commissioners, such as Ed Solomon, the crowd applauded the library's planned re-opening for October this year, noted Ginnie Cooper, chief librarian of the D.C. Public Library. Also at hand was Jerry McCoy, curator of the library's Peabody Room, where valuable records and priceless memorabilia of Georgetown have been stored for decades. Most of its contents had been rescued during the fire and later restored.

Moving In, Moving Out

The Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2E agenda for next week confirms the rumor that Brooks Brothers will be moving to 3077 M Street., N.W. This is where Pottery Barn is currently selling its wares, but as we already reported, Pottery Barn is leaving at the end of spring 2010. It is an enormous space, but we think would be a perfect location for Brooks Brothers. The Georgetowner remembers when the site was the home of the Food Mart run by the Greenberg family. And just two doors down was David Richards men's store, run by Sam Levy.

Performing this concert will be Sara Stern (flute), Joanna Maurer (violin), Miles Hoffman (viola), Aleberto Parrini (cello) and Anna Stoytcheva (piano). Joining them for this special performance will be Sirius/XMs Martin Goldsmith and renown Duncan dancer Ingrid Zimmer, with pianist Carlos Rodriguez.

Georgetowners Challenged

DCPL Foundation Matching Fund Challenge for Peabody Room

The District of Columbia Public Library Foundation announces a matching fund challenge to benefit the Peabody Room, the Georgetown history special collections housed in the Georgetown Neighborhood Library. The Alice and Russell True Foundation have announced that it will match every dollar up to $50,000 of donations received by the DCPL Foundation to benefit conservation of the Peabody Room’s collections by November 1, 2010. To kick of the fundraising effort, the True Foundation has already made a donation of $10,000.

Part of the DC Public Library’s Special Collections, the Peabody Room contains books, documents, photographs, and artwork spanning three centuries of Georgetown history – one of the most significant collections of neighborhood history in the nation. Many of the archival materials in the collection were water damaged from the April 30, 2007 fire that heavily damaged the library.

A portion of the True Foundation donation will go towards the conservation of two books: The Spirit of Laws by Charles Louise de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (Aberdeen: 1756), owned by Samuel Chase (1741-1811), one of four Maryland signers of the Declaration of Independence and A Treatise of Captures in War by Richard Lee (London: 1759), owned by Samuel Chase, Jr. (1775-1841). Both men are ancestors of the Foundation president.

To participate in this challenge, please make donations payable to the “DC Public Library Foundation” and note “Peabody” in the memo section of your check. Checks may be mailed to DCPL Foundation, 901 G Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001. You can also donate online at www.dcplfoundation.org and click “yes” when asked if you’d like your donation to go to the Georgetown Fund.

The DCPL Foundation is most grateful for this significant opportunity and hope that many will give to ensure that the full match is obtained. For further information, please contact Anna Velazco, Executive Director of the DC Public Library Foundation at: 202-727-4943, email avelazco.dcplfoundation.org or online at www.dcplfoundation.org.

Remembering Scottie Feldman

By David Roffman

It was indeed a different era in Georgetown back in the early 1970s.

Most of the businesses in the community were run by people you knew. Neams Market at Wisconsin and P was run by Jack, George and Edmond Neam. Little Caledonia, a "tom thumb department store" was run by the Randolph sisters. W.T. Weaver & Sons Hardware was in its second generation of Weavers, with gentle Jim Weaver at the helm. At Wisconsin and O Streets, Harry "Doc" Dalinsky was holding court in hisvenerable Georgetown Pharmacy. Doc knew everybody. He introduced me to the "killer B's -- Ben Bradlee, David Brinkley, Art Buchwald and
Collins Bird -- at his on-the-counter top Sunday brunch.

A block away, at Wisconsin and N, Billy Martin III was serving cold brews and delicious crab cakes at Martin's Tavern. Across the street, Rick Hindin and David Pensky were opening a new men's store called Britches. Down on M Street there was Stuart Davidson's wonderful little Clyde's saloon. Wonder whatever became of that place?

And, at 31st and M Street, there were the Greenbergs, father, mother, son, who ran The Food Mart. One time they ran an advertisement in The Georgetowner ("Bring in this ad and get a free steak"). They ran out of steaks in an hour. Next door was Potomac Wines & Spirits, run by
one Scottie Feldman. And in my early days in Georgetown, Scottie too, was one of many in the community at the time, who made you feel welcome everytime you walked into his store. He was at once a mentor, a father figure, a friend, a confidant to me. I would bring him coffee every morning from Harold's Deli (another place of legend), and we talked sports, politics, news of the day. Her was so proud of his sons Stuart and Steve, and his wife Mims.

Through the doors of Potomac Wines & Spirits came construction workers, businessmen, Congressmen, Redskins (George Starke was a regular visitor), sports legends (Frank "Hondo" Howard), and Georgetowners galore. Scottie came to work very early and left very late every day. A few years later, his son Steve began working at the store, and Scottie was so proud to have him there. People came to buy liquor, beer, nouveau wine. They came to cash checks. They came to kibitz. A yearly event was lighting the menorah on the countertop to start the Jewish holidays. Paul Cohn of J. Paul's came every year for the occasion. I rarely made a decision running The Georgetowner without running it by Scottie first. It was different then.

So when we heard the news that Scottie Feldman had passed away, we were saddened. Another chapter in our book of Georgetown memories now has come to a conclusion. Another page in our very own life has been turned.

Mandated Parking Meter Changes to Take Effect

This month, as mandated by the FY2010 Budget Support Act, the District will begin enforcing parking meter payment requirements on Saturdays at all metered spaces in the city. Crews will begin updating the more than 100,000 parking regulatory signs and nearly 17,000 meters to reflect the change immediately. Enforcement is effective once the signage is changed. Motorists should carefully check the days and hours of enforcement posted on the parking meters and curbside signs. The conversion of all signage and meter decals is expected to be completed by January 19.

In addition to the Saturday enforcement, DDOT is also simplifying the District’s parking meter rates. To comply with the new legislation, there will now be only two types of parking meter pricing zones: premium demand zones and normal demand zones.

· It will cost $2.00/hour to park in premium demand zones, which include the busiest commercial districts.
· It will cost $0.75/hour to park in normal demand zones.

The District’s premium demand zone rate is comparable or lower than the premium rates in other major cities across the nation including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia where rates are $3 an hour or more.

DDOT will also change the hours of enforcement for parking meters in the city’s busiest commercial districts where on-street parking is often scarce. Nighttime parking enforcement hours will be extended to 10 pm in the following “premium demand zones:”

Adams Morgan, Georgetown, Penn Quarter/Chinatown, U Street corridor, Downtown Central Business District, Maine and Water Streets, NW, the National Mall, and Wisconsin Ave, N.W. from Van Ness to Western.

Meters in Georgetown and around the Verizon Center are already in operation in the evenings)
Previously, District law prevented the enforcement of meter payment requirements on weekends, except in areas designated exceptions by the Mayor. Under this moratorium, many drivers would park for free for long periods of time, frustrating people looking for short-term, curbside parking to patronize local businesses. With paid parking evenings and Saturdays, there will be more turnover in spaces which will allow for more residents and visitors to find available short-term parking in commercial areas. In addition, extended enforcement will reduce congestion and pollution caused by drivers circling for curbside spaces.

Motorists need to balance the needs between paying or waiting/searching for a parking spot. Searching for spots and driving around the block numerous times is a waste of time, resources, and increases greenhouse emissions.

The changes in rates and enforcement are part of a comprehensive overhaul of the District’s aging parking meter system. DDOT has already installed multi-space meters throughout commercial corridors in the District replacing many old and non-functioning single space meters. In 2010 DDOT plans to roll out a number of parking meter pilot programs including pay-by-cell, in-car metering systems, and solar-powered single space meters that take credit card payment. Each of the pilot programs will explore the latest in parking meter strategies and technologies.

DDOT is confident many of these new parking meter solutions will provide 1) a better return on tax payer’s investment, 2) a variety of options, 3) reduced maintenance, 4) a variety of easy payment options, and 5) increased reliability.

For more information about the District’s parking operations and policies, please visit www.ddot.dc.gov.

Georgetown's Archives Preserved

Jerry A. McCoy, Special Collections Librarian/Archivist of the Washingtoniana Division and Peabody Room for the District of Columbia Public Library writes:

Vertical files covering over 200 subjects related to the history of Georgetown are now available to researchers. Since the April 30, 2007 Georgetown Branch Library fire, a small group of dedicated volunteers have copied thousands of fragile and water-damaged newspaper clippings (the oldest dated 1897!) onto acid-free paper. In addition to newspaper articles, vertical files routinely contain brochures, pamphlets, documents, magazine articles, and related ephemera.
