Monday, July 7 at 7 PM, Know Your Alphabetical Streets. DDOT present a seminar on DC’s Street Naming System. You know that east-west running streets are named for letters of the alphabet, and you may also know the names of most or all of the two-syllable streets -- or at least the ones in Cleveland Park: Macomb, Newark, Ordway, Porter, et. al. After Yuma St, there’s the three syllable alphabet beginning with Albemarle, Brandywine, Chesapeake. But do you know the flower and plant alphabeticals? This fascinating 90 minute class will teach you some memory tips so you can rattle off all the streets in order, even those like Van Ness and Veazey, with two for the same initial letter. Plus you’ll learn why there’s no Xenon or Zebra Street. This event takes place at 2100 J Street NW, which you won’t be able to find because it doesn’t exist...and because this is weekly fake event.
Tuesday, July 8 from 2 - 4 PM, Iona Senior Services presents the first in the “Live Well in DC” series of seminars.
