Things are getting TENSE up in Cleveland Park over a plan to install bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue. Arguments over a plan to install bike lanes on Connecticut avenue have reached a boiling point. Last week, protestors argued that removing valuable parking spots to make way for bike lanes would kill businesses along the strip. The city is still reviewing the design plans for the bike lanes, but back in April, we hosted a debate between two neighbors over whether or not they should even happen. Check out DDOT's plans for proposed bike lanes here, and the letter ANC3C will submit to DDOT regarding parking spots here. Want some more DC news?

Welcome to another Industry Night with Nycci Nellis. If you follow me on Insta - and you should @‌nyccinellis - you know I have been out and about. And it has been a week of incredible eats: -The Napa Valley Vintners were in town pouring their incredible wines all over town. And I wasn't just at one event, I was at two! First, 25+ winemakers poured at the Duck & the Peach - side note - I did record a show there with several of them — and then I was invited to the Smithsonian for an incredible evening honoring the winemakers - Napa Valley Wines in Changing Times with: -Andy Erickson, Favia; -Dawnine Dyer, Dyer Vineyard; -Doug Shafer, Shafer Vineyards; -and Martin M. Reyes, Reyes Wine Group They all poured their wines during a glorious sit down dinner while also chatting about the issues facing that gorgeous region. -Got a group of Boss Babes at Nobu for an evening of pristine sushi & amazing cocktails Now, since this is my third show recording this week, that's the three things I have consumed since the last taping! But just wait until this weekend its chock full of events — White House Correspondents Party at the Ambassador of Japan's Residence, checking out David Deshaies new Love, Makoto and another trip up to NYC to celebrate famous alums of the CIA Today's show: Sahil Rahman & his partner Rahul Vinod are the two behind the wildly successful fast casual concept, RASA. And honestly, I am feeling a little old sitting here.  Years ago when I started in this business I met his father, Surfy Rahman and Surfy's business partner chef K.N. Vinod when they opened Indique in Cleveland Park in 2002. These two men were part of an incredible wave of immigrant owned restaurants in this city that helped change not just the way we ate — deliciously —  but also gave people a new point of view when it came to restaurants and the dining scene in this city. Cut to today, Sahil & Rahul have turned the industry on it's head with their innovative concept of fine fast casual Indian. I personally love where Sahil's head is at … tune in ~ Quotes: "We're not selling Indian cuisine, we're selling happiness, and Indian cuisine happens to be our medium." -Sahil Rahman “You know, no matter where you start, the most important thing is to start and be relentless”- Sahil Rahman Guests Social Media Links: Sahil Raman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rasa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rasarising Website: https://www.rasa.co Twitter: https://twitter.com/rasa Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 8:35 Embracing the Rise of Indian Culture 12:42 Culinary Traditions Unleashed: Feeding Communities with Heart 17:26  Easing Food Fears: Introducing Indian Cuisine with a Twist" 22:30 Navigating Career Crossroads and Embracing Change" 28:09 Unleashing Fast-Casual Indian Cuisine near the Baseball Stadium 31:41 Ambition to Action: Rasa's Roadmap to Success 35:10 Unveiling Rasa's Bold Bowls and Flavorful Delights 46:40 Outro Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com

It is perhaps the most iconic park in Spartanburg, a once vibrant public space where generations of our community's parents have brought children to play and enjoy one of the city's most picturesque scenes. For many, Cleveland Park is a place awash in happy memories of sunshine-filled childhood days. Punctuated by the charming pond spilling itself gently into a stream that burbles through the large open space where the old playground once buzzed with youthful laughter, Cleveland Park long ago earned its place as a defining part of the Spartanburg community. Now, four years after a tragic  cast a shadow over this once joyous space, the  has plans to build a new 12,000 sq ft. playground for Cleveland Park, hoping to bring the community together, both to shape the park's future and to help heal the still-fresh wounds from its recent past. For six days, October 20-25, teams of volunteers (of every skill level) working four hour shifts will build the new playground. In all 2,650 volunteer shifts will be needed to complete the project which will feature nods to Spartanburg County's history and culture such as a peach shed and Revolutionary War mural. The playground will also feature a climbing wall, a water wheel, and a swinging platform. Today on the podcast, we're talking with Spartanburg County Parks Director of Development and Public Relations, Marcia Murff and Senior Project Manager Mike Nation about the playground build and the future of Cleveland Park.

The red brick of old Georgetown, the streetcar lines of Tenleytown and the eclectic and stately homes of Cleveland Park -- the neighborhoods west of Rock Creek Park -- were the setting for the remarkable history of the United States capital. Amid the gardens of their Friendship Estate, the McLean family held lavish parties until they were laid low by the rumored curse of the Hope Diamond, and it was the fashionable residences of Woodley Park that attracted the senators and Cabinet members of the 1920s and 1930s. From the history of Georgetown College and American University to stories of runaway slaves seeking protection at Fort Reno, historian Mark N. Ozer charts the evolution of the storied neighborhoods of the nation's capital in "Northwest Washington, D.C.: Tales from West of the Park" (The History Press, 2011). Mark N. Ozer is a former professor of neurology at the Georgetown University Medical School and is currently a study group leader at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at American University. There he has lectured extensively on the history of most of the great cities of the world. He has translated this interest in a series of books on Washington. The first, "Washington, DC: Politics and Place," was followed by "Massachusetts Avenue in the Gilded Age," published in 2010.
