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”.


Really - that has not been the case at other open streets - thousands of people usually turn 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.

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

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.

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.

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