I don’t know about you, but one of the best parts of summer is to get in free to places with neighbors. I’m talking of course about Ward 6 Week! A full week (and then some) of activities to meet new neighbors and to hang out with Charles Allen and his lovely staff. Yesterday, the announcement was made official: Ward 6 Week will take place from the 23rd to the 30th of July and we’re all invited! I will definitely be at the Ward 6 block party and at the evening monuments tour and would love to say hello to you if you’re there as well. If you want tickets to the Nats game, make sure you’re online TODAY at 2 p.m.! Make sure you click the links to sign up– everything is on a first-come, first-served basis.
