This week in the Cleveland Park Listserv
One of the best parts of our neighborhood is the small town atmosphere that the Cleveland Park Listserv helps to create. Each Friday we will pull out some (possibly out of context) gems from the Listserv to share with our neighbors and friends. We hope these outtakes of the neighborhood news will get you ready for another great weekend in Cleveland Park!
Been there, suffered that…
I just received a ticket in the mail for $200 from the DC Dept of Motor Vehicles. There is a $100 fine for stopping/standing in an morning rush hour zone and a $100 penalty. I received no such ticket on the date that is listed.
Eco-friendly flushers take note…
Random Free Stuff: Water Save Toilet kit, all parts should be there.
The first to criticize should be the first to laud…
Pepco’s technician replacing our meter today noticed a small gas leak and let us know. Washington Gas was here in 15 minutes, fixed it, and relit the pilot lights.
More importantly, what are they trying to say about Cleveland Parkers?
This morning I noticed yard-sign-type signs stuck on the treelawns all over the neighborhood, advertising some sort of quickie liposuction. I removed four(!) from the corner of 36th and Ordway and saw more along Reno as I drove out of the neighborhood.
Civic responsibility Sidwell Friends! What would President Obama think if he knew?!
I went for a lovely long walk with my dog Marnie this morning and was delighted to see that almost all the sidewalks were cleaned of ice, except the long walks by Sidwell Friends school — both on 37th and also on Wisconsin. I wish this institution had been as conscientious as all my other neighbors in making the walks safe for pedestrians.
Ehhh, your options are limited – go with Ardeo + Bardeo…
My mother is coming to see my place for the first time, and I want to take her to brunch. Please let me know your favorite brunch spot in Cleveland Park.

Levity and thievery in CP…
We’ve come upon half of a power cord for a MacBook Pro, and we’d like to locate the person who currently has the other half. They are also in possession of both of our laptops along with a bag of dirty laundry (?) which they stole from our house during a daytime break-in today.
Ditto…
I went to St. Arnold’s (Connecticut and Ordway) last night and had a great dish of steamed mussels in white wine sauce and two different Belgian beers. This place has a warm atmosphere, good food, friendly staff.
People will pay to watch American basketball?!
I have two tickets to the American University versus Army basketball game that we can not use… The tickets are $17 each or best offer.
Rental iPads… the next Capital Bikeshare?
I’ve been toying with the idea of buying an iPad for a while, but can’t decide how useful it would really be for me. I’m just starting a project that I think could benefit from an iPad, so I thought maybe I could rent one from someone in the neighborhood for a few days, as a test.
Not a Saturday Night Live skit…
The Washington Calligraphers Guild is pleased to announced the 18th annual Graceful Envelope Contest, open to all ages with two separate student categories.
Just a stab in the dark but…
My nephew in New York City will be sworn into the New York State Bar at a ceremony in the next week or so…Does any Listserv member have an extra guest pass that you do not plan to use…?
True. True. True. Really?
The list [against DC cabs] is endless: 1) Lack of change…; 2) Refusal to pick up fares…; 3) The taxi cab queues that form by hotels refusing in-town fares…; 4) Discrimination against students…
