Downtown/Shaw – The next ANC2C meeting is tomorrow at 6:30 pm at the Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Library at 1630 7th Street, NW. One item of note…Elisir Restaurant is petitioning for a sidewalk cafe. Nice! We’re also digging the great ANC2C Twitter feed coverage…very refreshing! [ANC2C agenda] & [ANC2C Twitter feed]
