Besides being cared for by her parents, Burleith residents Jane and Chuck Alexander, and the able hospital staff, Addie was well guarded by the Secret Service agent posted outside her room. In the room next to her was Dick Cheney. Welcome to life in Washington. Brother Gabe Alexander waited for a steaming hot night five years later to be born at Sibley. Addie is now 18 and headed to Occidental College in Los Angeles this fall while Gabe, 13, will enter Wilson High School. As life-long residents of our neighborhood, I thought it would it would be interesting to get Addie and Gabe’s thoughts on growing up in Burleith .

Addie and Gabe, 2019 Addie and Gabe, 2010 But first a little background about their parents, who also sat in on this interview. Jane, a college counselor and Chuck, in social change communications, met while working for George Washington University. Jane, a New Orleans native, came to Washington to attend GW and stayed. Chuck, hailing from Johnson City, Tenn., came to Washington seeking a bigger setting than his hometown or his college, Emory and Henry in Virginia. After looking in Mt. Pleasant and AU Park, and with no knowledge of Burleith as a neighborhood, Chuck and Jane bought a house on T Street a few months before Addie’s birth.

Now back to Addie and Gabe.

What are your favorite memories of being Have you ever wished you lived in a What are your particular interests in small in Burleith? different neighborhood? school? Addie: The Tot Lot, riding my bike on Flat Addie: I used to wish I lived in , Addie: English literature and history.

What do you think would be different Is Burleith a ‘cool’ neighborhood? about growing up in one of your parents’ hometowns, Johnson City or New Orleans? Addie: No, but that’s not bad. Addie: I think growing up in New Orleans I would have been more sheltered, stymied. I wouldn’t be as extreme in my views. Gabe: If I lived in Johnson City I’d run away.

You both have gone to our local public schools, Stoddert, Hardy, Do you have any role models? and Wilson. What do you think of those schools? Addie: The director of a group I’m a member of, OUDC, Operation Addie and Gabe: Good, the DCPS schools are good. Understanding DC.

Addie and Gabe: During the years at Stoddert, friends were from the neighborhood.

And that I’d be old Addie: Social justice. The 2020 presidential election. I’ll be a first enough to drive. time voter. Gabe: Baseball.

P.S. Chuck and Jane have been happy living in Burleith. In fact when they needed more space for two children and after hosting a number of Jane’s Katrina refugee relatives, they never considered leaving the neighborhood and were lucky to find a new house meeting all their needs…across the street. Chuck and Jane are now most grateful for their neighbors, the proximity to their synagogue, and the extraordinary location of Burleith amid commerce, a major university, the French embassy, Ellington field, and Glover Park. Looking down the road, when Addie and Gabe are living elsewhere and it’s time to retire, Jane and Chuck think they’ll travel extensively. But they know Burleith will always be home.

ANC Commissioner on Green Spaces, Jelleff Possibilities By Kishan Putta

Thank you to everyone who attended the Jelleff meeting in May. It was a civil and productive discussion on the future of both the field and the recreation center. I was especially impressed to hear from Laura Welles, who attends Hardy Middle School in our neighborhood right across the street from Jelleff and wishes she could use the nice fields there more instead of traveling across town.

Green spaces and fields are in high demand in DC. I'm proud to work with the ANC, my fellow Commissioner Elizabeth Miller, and the DC Department of Parks & Recreation to meet with and hear all sides including our widely distributed survey. We will continue to work to increase field access and to make the recreation center better for everyone with attractive social spaces for nice affordable ventse and meeting spaces and exercise/yoga rooms too. There are lots of ideas so please let me know if you'd like to be involved.

In the future, DPR is exploring the possibility of more field usage at Ellington field (not currently a DPR facility) — But I have toldhem t that, if they consider this, it absolutely must be done in close consultation with our neighbors, many who live very nearby.
