A Coffee Shop On Every Corner

Coffee fiend, bike guy, transit advocate, enemy of zoning laws. Formerly the guy who wanted a coffee shop in Cleveland Park, DC. Views mine.

@BobWardDC Couldn’t agree more. Rini 1, Goodweather 2, JLG 3.

[Bob Ward @BobWardDC]

One of the key questions I have is "Who is going to clean house?" And I think any of these three, in addition to their strong urbanist credentials, are going to shake up DC government.

[Safe Sidewalks DC @SafeSidewalksDC]

@vivian39_ @nilssjobergstan Im on the fence too but tie breaker for me is the Mayor fully controls DDOT & transportation policy & McD is terrible there while the DC Council has as much control on housing as the Mayor so Mendo & his stupid housing takes will be as important as JLGs (or McDs) kooky ones.

Grand Rapids is one of the United States’ most underrated cities tbh

[The Timeless Traveler @TimelessTrvlr]

Is Grand Rapids one of the Midwest’s most underrated cities?

ArtPrize, craft breweries, riverfront trails, historic neighborhoods, and a downtown that feels far more interesting than people expect.

Beyond parody

[DCBikeWalkBusPAC @bikewalkbuspac]

The question voters should ask is simple: when key transportation projects faced controversy, where did @kenyanmcduffie stand?

[Barred in DC @BarredinDC]

My first trip to the neighborhood of North Cleveland Park (aka Van Ness) since 2019 to see 1) that there is now an actual bar (I’m a sucker for those window outdoor bar seating), 2) the historic former Burger King, and 3) the amazing Bread Furst bakery

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

@BarredinDC I live up this way now and Dog Haus is a godsend. Gives life to the neighborhood. Proper place to get a beer and a bite where there wasn’t really one previously

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

@JHWeissmann It’s more just historic districts (and housing too) though. His answers to questions and past action on the Council make me unconvinced he won’t listen to NIMBYs/appoint them when it comes to land use, parking, road redesigns. Reminiscent of Bowser early on

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

This is why I can’t vote for McDuffie. His entire campaign is about allowing DC to stagnate.

I don’t like JLG very much at all. But it seems she is much more open to welcoming new neighbors and making our streets safer for people outside of cars. I’ll be ranking her and not him.

[Josh Jacobson @joshjacobsondc]

This is absurd from @kenyanmcduffie . Our historic preservation laws are insane. The bar for preservation is very low - you don't even need the permission of the property owner! I know this because someone in 1E almost had their home historically preserved by someone else. (1/3)

Crashing out staring at what we had and lost

[Daniel Wortel-London @dlondonwortel]

Interurban trolley lines in New England and Detroit, early 1900s.

Sorry for ruining your day.

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

@haydengise Glover Park and Adams Morgan are far too good of neighborhoods to be so inaccessible by transit

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

Our mayoral field is really, truly abysmal

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

@andrewdefrank Hmm… I like the bright red because it’s super visible

[Miguel for Ward 1 @MiguelWard1_]

@cpneedscoffee @TheGreenZoneDC facts. and let's remember that Green Zone had to cut staff bc of the loss of customers. this is precisely how NOT to (a) design public policy nor (b) build urban space around human beings. we can do so much better... and do right by our residents &amp; workers &amp; small biz

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

@lst156 This drivel is indistinguishable from the stuff said by 83yo millionaires living in a single family homes who show up to my zoning meetings to complain about the “character of the neighborhood” changing (read: less white) if we let more people live there

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

@DCCarViolence Fair! I haven’t kept up with him as much as Rini. Would like to do a little more research soon.

[A Coffee Shop On Every Corner @cpneedscoffee]

…put some food vendors out there

[Architect of the Capitol (AOC) @uscapitol]

The historic relationship between the Cannon Building and its landscape has been restored with a central green space usable for the first time since the 1950s!

“We desperately need a world where kids can be let loose in a neighborhood and told to come home for dinner. That requires more walkable places, which in turn requires a fuller and smarter discussion about walkability.”
