It’s time for the next Greater Greater happy hour! Join us in Hyattsville at Streetcar 82, the East Coast's first Deaf-owned brewery.

On Thursday, September 13 from 6 to 8 pm, join contributors, readers, and Deaf urbanists for drinks and conversation at Streetcar 82, located at 4824 Rhode Island Avenue (Route 1) in Hyattsville. Just over a month old, this microbrewery was founded by three graduates of Gallaudet University, all of whom are Deaf or hard of hearing. As a result, it's already become a hub for the local Deaf community.

ASL interpretation will be provided.

Streetcar 82 isn't near a Metro station, but you can get there from Rhode Island Avenue (Red Line) on the 83 Metrobus, or from West Hyattsville (Green Line) on the F8 Metrobus or The Bus route 13. It's also a few blocks from the Anacostia River and Northwest Branch trails, which meet near Rhode Island Avenue. There's a Capital Bikeshare station five blocks away at Baltimore Avenue (Route 1) and Jefferson Street.

RSVP here today!

In recent months, we’ve held happy hours in Edgewood, Rosslyn, H Street, and College Park. Where should we go next? Let us know in the comments.

Walking tour of the Southwest Waterfront: New outdoor public spaces. Protected bike lanes. The 200-year-old fish market. A rich history long predating “the Wharf:” the Southwest Waterfront has so much to offer. Don't let the sun set on summer without visiting DC's prettiest new sunset viewpoint with expert guidance from the Coalition for Smarter Growth (CSG)!

You'll look at the Wharf through an urban planning and history lens — how the area is helping reinvigorate DC’s waterfront culture; features that encourage walking, biking and transit; connections to surrounding neighborhoods; and how DC can reconcile the area’s budding economic success with its history of redevelopment, displacement, and urban renewal.

Walk with CSG and learn more! Meet the tour at 9th and D streets SW, at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, August 29.

“Resilience for All” book talk: At 6:30 pm, join Island Press at Busboys and Poets (1025 5th St NW) for a book talk and signing with “Resilience for All” author Barbara Brown Wilson.

In many vulnerable neighborhoods, structural racism and classism prevent residents from having a seat at the table when decisions are made about their community. In an effort to overcome power imbalances and ensure local knowledge informs decision-making, a new approach to community engagement is essential.

In her book, Wilson charts a path forward that is driven by social equity, vibrancy, and hope. This event will highlight how community-driven design projects in underserved communities can not only change the built world, but also provide opportunities for residents to build their own capacities.

Thursday, August 30

Bike ride to a movie: Come celebrate the summer with the DC Bike Ambassadors by taking a bike ride along the beautiful Anacostia River Trail to the Deanwood Recreation Center to watch Men of Honor under the stars. Meet the ride group at 6 pm at the Anacostia Metro Station at 894 Howard Road SE.

Coding for train-lovers: Want to help others move through the world with your mad computer skills? Join other train-loving coders (including Amtrak!) who have offered to share their projects at 6 pm at Spaces NoMa at 1140 3rd St NE. There will be pizza and beer!
