normally this would happen in Takoma Park, which is more "radical" than we are in DC, but I guess there wasn't a good place with a lot of visibility.
Having to do a public event in the side parking lot next to a liquor store demonstrates the utility of having pocket parks and squares in DC neighborhoods (like the new plaza in Columbia Heights).
There is a park across the street, but it isn't designed to support multiple and different types of uses, plus its design walls it off from the street, and supports disorder--not to mention its location on Blair Road during rush hour makes it very noisy.
