An Adams Morgan Tradition
Thanksgiving at the Potter's House. Potter's House opened in 1960. I'm not sure how long this tradition has been going on, but it is well-known in the neighborhood. Everyone's invited. A lot of people come. Many are alone on Thanksgiving, and some come with families. Some are even "in a family way".

A new show: CHRIST HOUSE B4 IT WAS CHRIST HOUSE
The show is up in the Potter's House until Saturday, November 26th at noon. It is part of a book I'm working on about the history of the homeless in Adams Morgan.
The man with the baseball bat is Piloto, who played for the Negro Leagues in the 40s. He is from Cuba.

The Pigeon Lady of Unity Park
She always wore the American flag safety-pinned to her chest. She had an elaborate system for feeding the pigeons, and once she got them to line up she talked to them. The pigeon lady is just one of many Adams Morgan residents who was a little different and added a lot of character to our diverse community.

Old Adams Morgan Photo Show, Lookin' Good
Monday, September 4, 2011 The show went up today. It needs a few finishing touches but will indeed be ready for Adams Morgan Day September 11th. The opening is 3 to 5pm. If you come to the opening, be sure to see the show in both locations, the Shawarma King at 1654 Columbia Road and the Potters House right next door at 1658 Columbia. They are different photos and different sizes.
There will be refreshments at the opening. The show will be up in both locations for the whole month. When you're at the Shawarma King, be sure to try their shawarma chicken or lamb, unmatched by any restaurant in the neighborhood. If you're at Potters House, the coffee is good, but the homemade soups at lunch are the best in the neighborhood.
We will have discussions and storytelling throughout the month of September, the first at the opening. Keep watch for times and dates published on neighborhood bulletin boards and listservs.
