Here we are today, at the site of the new Uptowner Cafe and Market in Adams Morgan. That's the co-owner Anise Kang cutting the ribbons and next to me on the right is the other owner Eun Joo Park. And of course that's Wilson Reynolds, my constituent services director, in the hat. He just happens to be chairman of ANC 1C and the Uptowner is in his single member district.  

The old Caribou Coffee  site has been empty for nearly three years. That's far too long. We are so happy to have the Uptowner in our Ward now at 2421 18th Street. They are very popular downtown near George Washington University where they have two locations at 20th and G and  24th and M. Streets. They also have eight other locations around the region.

Meet my 2010 Scholarship Award winners.

Every Year I give out Scholarships to our Senior High School Graduates, from Ward One.

Each has a unique background and special story, commensurate with the vast diversity that exists in the city's smallest ward. Pictured here is Lynda Nguyen of Benjamin Banneker High School. She will be attending Syracuse University. 

Joining Lynda this year are:

Tavon Hailes of Booker T. Washington H.S.  and Rocio Ramirez of Cardozo H.S. both of  whom will attend Montgomery College, Bianca Wiles of Cardozo who will attend Clark-Atlanta University, Norka De Jesus of Bell Multicultural H.S. who will attend Hood College and Shakayla Mclean of Maya Angelou who will attend Mountain State Univeristy.

Congratulations Ward One Graduates.
