ISO 5/5T boys clothes
Farrah Freis
Hi all--
Before I buy new, does anyone have good condition fall/winter boys clothes in 5/5T (or 4T pants that don't run small) that they're ready to part with? My son seems to have had a crazy growth spurt mid-season. I'm looking mostly for play clothes, stain-free (and the boy loves corduroys). Happy to pay. Many thanks and hoping everyone is staying safe!
Farrah

Re: Leaf collection program - any activity?
Meghan Kowalski
I've seen the vacuum trucks out and about (particularly along Reno) this week. Meghan - original message - It's well beyond our scheduled leaf collection pick up date, so I was wondering if anyone has noticed any Cleveland Park leaf collection activity by DC Public Works.

Re: ISO advice on best document scanner for newspaper pages

Re: Options for reconfiguring Conn Ave
Sauleh Siddiqui
Hi Mark,
Thanks for engaging on this. The presentation is at a very preliminary stage, they have not defined the exact configuration of Option C yet, which means it is the perfect time for the neighborhood to start discussions and engagement. Even though construction won't start for at least two years, I think we can start the dialogue on how to bring the community together around one of the choices. The original Option C (slide 38) removes the current non-rush hour parking as you pointed out, but a modified Option C on slide 40 has the potential for 24-hour parking and loading on one side of the street. I agree with you that we should try our best to advocate for customer parking within the modified Option C, with enough space leftover for loading and unloading. Currently, there's no 24-hour loading zone on either side of the street, and the parking on Connecticut Avenue disappears during rush hour. This way we have a defined spot for loading/unloading along with 24-hour parking one one side that doesn't go away during rush hour. There are other great reasons to go for Option C. It removes the dangerous reversible lanes and also provides protected bicycle lanes. This will improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists, those who should be prioritized when looking at transportation infrastructure. Bicycling infrastructure has been shown to increase the frequency of customers to businesses and I think we can use that boost for our commercial district along with its sustainability benefits as well. Always happy to chat more about this, and I encourage everyone to attend the webinar linked here. Sauleh

Jewish Study Center Course Dec 9 & 16 @ 8pm, Refuge from the Nazis: A 2-Part Look at the British Kindertransport
Listserv Sponsor
Refuge from the Nazis: A Two-Part Look at the British Kindertransport (20F4) December 9 and 16, 8:00-9:30 p.m. Instructor: Jeff Metzger Free Admission. Please register ahead at www.jewishstudycenter.org After the events of the Nazi anti-Jewish terror campaign of 1938 known as Kristallnacht, the British government put in place the Kindertransport program, a humanitarian effort to rescue imperiled children from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia in late 1938 and 1939. About ten thousand children were rescued; no other country undertook an effort on this scale. This class will focus on the antecedent events in Germany that caused the British to put the program in place; the adverse immigration policies in the 1930s; the immediate precursor event in Germany, Kristallnacht; the efforts by British politicians and religious leaders to obtain support for the program; the failure of the United States to participate in the program; and the organization and operation of the program. The instructor will also review, based on newly located records, his mother’s experiences as a child in the program. He will compare them to other participating children’s experiences. Finally, the course will involve discussion of the lessons to be drawn in contemporary America from the British humanitarian effort in 1939. The course will be taught in two sessions. This first session will focus on the precursor events to and the creation of the Kindertransport. The second session will focus on the development and implementation of the program and its effects on the involved children and parents. Jeffrey Metzger is an attorney. He currently serves as a director of the non-profit U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, an international refugee/immigration rights organization. He represented in court unaccompanied children who crossed the U.S. Mexico border. All classes are free and on Zoom. Register to receive the link. Donations are welcome and greatly appreciated!

Webinar Tuesday on Connecticut Ave Bike Lanes
Bob Ward
All are invited to register for next Tuesday's webinar on the Connecticut Avenue Reversible Lanes/Bike Lanes project hosted by Ward 3 Bike Advocates. They will be discussing the details of the project, including the various design options under consideration and W3BA's recommended approach. What’s Next For a Connecticut Ave Protected Bike Lane?
Tuesday, Dec 8, 2020 06:30-8pm
As you may know, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is exploring removing the reversible lane on Connecticut Avenue between Woodley Park and Chevy Chase and a possible street redesign. For the first time, protected bike lanes are being considered as a serious option. Ward 3 advocates have been talking about dangerous traffic and a need for safe, low-stress bicycling options on Connecticut Ave for a decade or more.

Re: Options for reconfiguring Conn Ave
Ako & Jeff Schwartz Shigihara
Jeff on 28th Just so I understand – as someone who has not been closely following this – in the face of proposed Metro cutbacks, the plan is to spend $20 million to eliminate parking that remaining businesses have called critical to their success.

Re: ISO Recs for CDs for the toddler set
Kari Gallagher <kari@...>
Let me do a shout out to our own local wonder Mr. Lilo! Many of you know him from the local preschool circuit; he is on weekly rotation at many of the local preschools. Kids think he’s a rock star - especially with his “I am a pizza” song. Some of his songs are bilingual. My family of three girls have been enjoying him for twelve years. https://www.mrlilo.com/ Kari
Ordway - original message - Hi there - Any recommendations for favorite CDs for two- to three-year-olds - any genre of music or stories - only criteria being that they be tolerable for the adult ear.
