Looking back on 2019: Discovery, surprise and delight

December 31, 2019 by FHC Leave a Comment

At Forest Hills Connection, 2019 was a year of discovery, surprise and delight. Actually, that’s been true every year this publication has been around (a 2018 favorite was learning Lady Bird Johnson was a Murch parent). We get to discover new things about this corner of the District and the people who live and work […]

We bid farewell to 2015 with a collection of stories about our wildest neighbors: The flora and fauna of the forest and even our own backyards.

2015 Flashback: Our fascinating neighbors

December 28, 2015 by FHC

We are surrounded by an unbelievable array of talents in this neighborhood. Artists, entrepreneurs, activists: Our neighbors can do it all – and they do. These are some of the people we met in 2015. A designer turned toymaker: It’s a toy, and as toys go, it’s pretty simple. It’s a cube. Food as art: […]

2015 Flashback: Protecting our beautiful parks and streams

December 23, 2015 by FHC

How many people outside of the District can boast of having a national park in their backyard? Rock Creek Park and the tributaries that flow through Melvin C. Hazen Park, the Soapstone Valley, Linnean Playground and along Broad Branch Road are neighborhood treasures. They are also fragile – surrounded by polluting vehicles and impermeable pavement. […]

2015 Flashback: The novel idea that turned into ‘Scientists and the Spy’

December 22, 2015 by FHC

We’re incredibly proud of this one. In fall 2014, we announced that neighbor and writer Anthony Dobranski had started work on researching a novel that would be set here in Forest Hills. It would be historical fiction featuring some of the real-life work taking place at the National Bureau of Standards during World War Two. […]

2015 Flashback: Van Ness on the verge

December 21, 2015 by FHC

It’s a question we at Forest Hills Connection often ask ourselves: Was change in our neighborhood this constant before we launched our little site in 2012? Or is this something entirely new? In 2015, it sure seemed like it was the latter. The changes this year and in years to come have roots in years […]
