Welcome to Glover Park
Glover Park is a family-friendly neighborhood located in the District of Columbia high on a hill above the Potomac River, just north of Georgetown. It includes both sides of Wisconsin Avenue from Whitehaven Parkway to Calvert Street and then extends northward on the west side of Wisconsin to Fulton Street. Its western boundary is 42nd street along the edge of Glover-Archibald Park. Glover Park is a neighborhood of row houses, apartment buildings and a busy commercial strip of Wisconsin Avenue. Residents appreciate the convenience and hometown atmosphere of the neighborhood and its beautiful natural setting.

GPCA's Special Meeting on June 3 was called to determine whether or not GPCA would join the voluntary agreement negotiated between ANC3B and Town Hall and drop its protest against Town Hall's proposed roof deck.  Paul Holder from Town Hall spoke briefly, as did Karine Faden for the Neighborhood Protest Group (see its statement). Brian Cohen spoke for ANC3B.

 

Marcia Johnston moved that "GPCA remain a party to the protest against Town Hall's proposed roof deck until more facts come to light about noise potential and sound abatement tactics at which time GPCA can decide whether or not to negotiate its own voluntary agreement."

 

Nearly 40 minutes of alternating pros and cons were aired by the more than 40 people in attendance after which a vote was taken.  The motion carried by a vote of 20-9. 

 

All follow-up on this issue through the summer will be publicized on this website or via email to all members whose email addresses are on file. It is possible that another special meeting will be necessary over the summer.  Please contact membership@gpcadc.org to make sure your email address is included in these communications.  The next regular meeting of GPCA will be September 2.

 

On June 4, a status hearing was held before the ABC Board at which time the Neighborhood Protest Group's request for a continuance was granted and the hearing was rescheduled for August 13. 

Open letter to Mayor Fenty

In other news ....

We heard that Grog and Tankard was purchased by the owner of Ceviche who has plans to turn it into a "club for the 21-25 year old crowd."  We'll report more when we know more.

Looks like the old laudromat will become a ZBurger franchise.  

Rocklands has applied for a liquor license to sell beer, wine and spirits.  Three new licenses were opened up when the Glover Park Moratorium was renewed this year and all three are applied for. The other two are sought by Surfside (old Apollo Market) which plans to offer Caribbean-style, serve-yourself food, and Breadsoda (brought to you by the owners of Bourbon) in the old My Bakery site, which will offer light fare, pool tables, entertainment and outside tables.
