Kyra Deblaker-Gebhard

Kyra DeBlaker-Gebhard was a college English instructor and part-time writer living in New Jersey when the prospect of living a new and exciting life in Washington, D.C., presented itself. Kyra walked away from her job as a teacher and, with her new beau, discovered all of the wonderful things the District had to offer. Ten years later, Kyra is married to the guy she followed to D.C., mother of two charming, but messy children, caretaker of a small army of furry animals and proud owner of an ever-changing Capitol Hill home. When not tending to her human and furry family, Kyra is managing a website for a local non-profit, renovating her hill home and attending Nats games at Nationals Park.

Missed Connection: When Zach Met Laura, and Went Searching on the Neighborhood Listserv

To say that the Newhilleast listserv can be an angry virtual space riddled with vitriolic posts is an understatement. While you will, from time to time, read an innocent post that is unlikely to spark a debate, more often than not, the posts can really get readers going. Whether someone is reporting a description of […]

Canal Park Ice Skating Rink Opens to Events and Free Skate This Weekend

If warm Saturdays in the spring are made for trips to Eastern Market, than crisp fall days (even cold winter ones) are meant for outdoor ice skating rinks. No longer do we have to leave the Hill or drive to Virginia to take a turn around a well-known skating rink. Now, we can step out […]
