| Drove down Wisconsin from Bethesda into DC and kept seeing signs that Wisconsin is closing as of Nov 5. Anyone know what’s happening? |

| Open Streets from Western to Tenley Circle. Should be a lot of fun! |

Is it just for the day? |

| It's a Saturday. It is really no big deal, but assuming the weather is nice, a ton of people will be out supporting the businesses and partaking in fun and games in the road. |

| I don’t see this as too different from the various fun runs — I’m talking to you Rock and Roll Marathon — that shut down huge swaths of the city on a Saturday. |

| I opened this post wondering why the entire state of Wisconsin was to be closed on 11/5. |

Me too. So confused about how an entire state closes! |

| I will probably wander over, but it may show how desperate we are for more stores/restaurants in FH and Tenley. FH is a wasteland right now. |

| They did this in Brookland several weeks ago. I wanted to hate it as much as the rest of you cantankerous old grumps but that plan failed. It was fun. |

Whatever happened to the GDS vibrant mixed-use development on Wisconsin, dubbed “Harvard Square” by some neighbors? |

First off, what local businesses? Please be specific which “local business” along Wisconsin will benefit from customers not being able to access their business via car on a Saturday? I sincerely would like to know. Second, no there will not be “a ton of people out”. |

Shutting down a major thoroughfare so that a couple exercise businesses can offer 4 free classes each to try and rope in new business is hilarious. |

Really - that has not been the case at other open streets - thousands of people usually turn out! https://www.instagram.com/openstreetsdc/?hl=en |
