Our list of October events in the Forest Hills, Van Ness and North Cleveland Park has grown since we posted it last week. And that’s not even the half of it. What’s missing? The arts.
Van Ness Main Street’s Jazz @ VN series continues its musical tour of Van Ness businesses on Tuesday, October 25th, at Soapstone Market. This is of course dependent on the store’s opening, so watch Van Ness Main Street’s Facebook and Twitter feeds for updates.
UDC’s terrific jazz program has two free midday concerts coming up. The small jazz ensembles perform Tuesday, October 18th and jazz studies program director Allyn Johnson performs selections from his new recording, The Art of Becoming, on Tuesday, October, 25th. Both concerts begin at 12:30 p.m. and both will be in the UDC Recital Hall in the Performing Arts building (Building 46-West).

It’s good to have a neighborhood theater, but the photo of it being surrounded by cascading stairs raised some concern. So I went over there to look. There is a poorly marked and almost hidden ramp off to the left.. The few parking spots on Windom Pl. are reserved for Zip Cars and not for the disabled.
