Drybar Closed for Not Having Permits

August 29, 2013

Drybar should have the skills to untangle this mess of its own making with the D.C. government.

It seems the popular blow dry establishment, at 1825 Wisconsin Ave., NW, near Safeway, never quite applied for the correct business permits, when it opened almost a year ago. So, on Aug. 16, the D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, shut it down.

“There was a technical glitch or error in the business license filing with the D.C. government. Drybar is working diligently with it to correct the error. Meanwhile, we are routing appointments to our Bethesda shop,” a company spokesperson told the Georgetowner.

“They came in to get their certificate of occupancy last week and are working to obtain the necessary salon business license,” emailed DCRA’s Helder Gil to Georgetown Patch, which first reported the closing.

“We truly and sincerely apologize and are working as quickly as possible to untangle this mess!” wrote Drybar founder and owner to her clients. “We will let you know as soon as it is resolved.”

Julie Harris: the Enchanting, Transforming Broadway Legend


I saw Julie Harris for the first time in a live performance when I was in high school in the 1950s—it was Jean Anoulih’s version of the Joan of Arc story, “The Lark,” on Hallmark Hall of Fame when network television broadcast and produced live drama on a regular basis

I probably did not fully understood much of what I was seeing in those days, that it was live theater of a sorts, but I could sense that Harris was something pretty special, especially on stage.

Over the years, you could catch Harris in plenty of memorable film roles—opposite James Dean, no less, in “East of Eden, in the film version of Carson McCullers’s great and haunting novel, “Member of the Wedding,” in “The Haunting” and “Requiem for a Heavyweight,” and much later, in a small but striking role in “Out of Africa.” She was also in a television prime soap opera at one point, being part of the “Knots Landing” gang, a factoid which will no doubt lead of her obituary somewhere in some publication or blog.

Harris, who died of congestive heart failure at age 87 this past week, was, even with all the movies and television, a certifiable legend of the stage, a star of Broadway, a person who lived in the ephemeral world of a play being performed on a stage in front of breathing and feeling audiences. It’s a hard thing to become an acting legend this way—after a while, it’s all reduced to memory, rumor, story, someone’s long ago fragmentary keepsake of a thought.

She was fierce and fantastic in “Member of the Wedding,” playing the desperately lonely Frankie, but I never saw her on stage in that. It took a few years, but I caught up with her when I moved to Washington and saw my first play at the Kennedy Center. It was Harris in “The Belle of Amherst,” playing Emily Dickinson, bringing that notoriously secretive recluse to life.

I saw her again being driven around by Brock Peters in “Driving Miss Daisy,” and matching wit, heart and sarcasm with Charles Durning in “The Gin Game,” both also at the Kennedy Center. Later, she was in “Lettuce and Lovage,” a play by Peter Shaffer of “Amadeus.” It was a comedy, with a role that was originally written for Maggie Smith, but which Harris took on the road, eccentric, acidic and unforgettable.

I remember having a telephone conversation with her, and we talked mostly about the theater, her roles, other actors. She seemed a woman incapable of bragging, but she had a sense of humor. After a while, we were just telling each other about plays we had seen, or plays she had been in. It was theater talk of the kind that wasn’t necessarily quotable or memorable in its details but hard to forget in its warmth.

Theater isn’t easy, and being on the stage isn’t easy. Ask any movie star who takes to that high wire on a floorboard, misses his cues and waits for someone to yell “cut.” Harris, by all accounts, worked hard and almost always and certainly often. She had some impediments to stardom. She was of slight stature. She was not by the common definition a great beauty, although she could play one. Her voice was somewhat thin. She overcame these handicaps by dint of finely tuned emotion, by craft, by imagining and being the women she played. She had range. She could convince by the soft sharpness of a gesture and by making the most of all her gifts.

People forget: we all think of “Cabaret” and Sally Bowles as belonging to Liza Minnelli or the last woman to play her on stage. But it was Harris who is cited by author Cristopher Isherwood, upon whose “Berlin Stories” both “Cabaret” and the non-musical, “I Am a Camera,” are based. Isherwood said that Harris was more Sally Bowles than even the character he wrote.

Harris on stage was more than any person created on a page. She was an enchanter, a transformer, an actor and actress who created in front of our eyes and transformed us.

Ev Shorey: Georgetown’s ‘Great Friend, Great Citizen’

August 22, 2013

The obituary in the Washington Post for Clyde Everett “Ev” Shorey, who died July 23 of congestive heart failure at his home in Georgetown, tells a story of a career and a passion for the March of Dimes, the charitable organization for which he had been a top lobbyist for a number of years.

The interview with him in the Citizens Association of Georgetown’s Oral History Project in April 2010 tells the story of Ev Shorey, resident of West Lane Keys in Georgetown, where he lived with his wife of 63 years, Joan Burgess Shorey. It’s the story of Shorey, the concerned citizen of Georgetown, who committed to active service and participation in CAG and became its president for a time.

Neither story gives you a sense of the kind of impression Shorey, who was 91, could make if you met him or you watched him preside over CAG meetings.

His professional life of which a significant portion was his eight-year role as a lobbyist for the March of Dimes was surely sparked when his wife contracted Polio in 1953 at a time just before the breakthrough work of Jonas Salk bore practical results. A Yale graduate, Shorey had served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II and was a graduate of Columbia Law School. He had been an attorney in his father’s Chicago law firm and came to Washington where he was deputy general counsel of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

He helped in his role as lobbyist to widen the role of the March of Dimes to include a focus on comprehensive maternal and child health care and was on the organization’s board from 1962 to 1974. He was the first head of the organization’s government affairs office. He had lobbied for such programs as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

In Georgetown, where he and his had moved after raising their children in Cleveland Park, Shorey soon became involved in the community life of the village, his neighbors and CAG. He helped with the creation of watch and guard programs and many other issues but his contributions were more subtly evidenced in his leadership style, which was to grow the organization, persuade other Georgetown resident to take part and lead on various issues.

Both his career on the national stage and his service on CAG were about substance and style, the cheerful and graceful embrace of principled duty. Talking about the people who participated in the block captain program, he called them “great friends and great citizens.” Called a “great motivator” during his interview, he said that “you have to be convinced yourself that you can make a difference. And that it is important to get people to work together to make things happen. “

It’s fair to if you met Shorey, you were not likely to forget him. He had a certain cheerful dignity about him, a friendly curiosity. CAG meetings sometimes—not often—could get volatile or bogged down. Shorey was a great defuser, and persuader a champion of people joining and working together. He was one of those disappearing types of men—he was a gentleman. The description he made of others fits him: for Georgetown and Georgetowners, Everett “Ev” Shorey, was “a great friend, great citizen.”

Shorey is survived by his wife, Joan Burgess Shorey, four children, C. Everett Shorey III and Katherine Herold, David Shorey and Alden Lattu and seven grandchildren.

Chicago Cop and Television Crook Dies at Age 69

August 21, 2013

Dennis Farina spent a good chunk of his life as a cop chasing crooks in Chicago where he grew up. Right there you have three important C’s of American pop and pulp entertainment: cops, crooks, Chicago.

Then something happened: he met Michael Mann, the stylish movie and television director who was filming a movie in Chicago called “Thief.” Farina, a detective working in burglary, knew something about thieves and worked as a consultant to film crews. Mann, who created the iconic white-suit-drug-dealers cop series “Miami Vice,” liked the cut of Farina’s gib—who wouldn’t—and hired him for a part in the movie. The rest is Farina history.

That look—dramatic eyebrows, a voice that could threaten and soothe, sometimes all at once, and, yes, the mustache—allowed Farina the actor to move smoothly between cops and crooks. As far as that mustache, well, only Tom Selleck could and still does use his mustache as an acting tool better than Farina.

Farina—who died of complications from a blood clot on July 22 at the age of 69—became a familiar face on television. Mann cast him as—hold onto your hats— a cop and star of “Crime Story,” Mann’s next project in television. Farina played Lt. Mike Torello who fought mobsters in Chicago and Las Vegas in the 1950s and 1960s. It was a period piece: stylish, tough, with both cops and mobsters wearing cool hats and often smoking stogies.

In films, including “Thief,” “Midnight Run” and the hugely entertaining “Get Shorty,” based on master crime writer Elmore Leonard’s novel, he played crooks. There was the guy with the big afro in “Thief;” a hood named Jimmy Serrano in “Midnight Run,” which also starred Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro; and most memorably, a mobster named Ray “Bones” Barboni in “Get Shorty,” which featured John Travolta and Gene Hackman.

But he hit the endurance jackpot when he took on the role of Detective Joe Fontana on “Law and Order.” Nobody could take the place of Jerry Ohrbach as Lenny Brisco on LAO, but Farina gave it a shot in terms of sheer originality. He was a slick one that Fontana, a natty, showy dresser and a bit of a hustler, charming information out of nurses in any way he could. In one word, he was memorable.

In real life Dennis Farina was a Chicago guy, born and raised by Sicilian parents. He was a cop who chased crooks in the city.

In our memory, he played both a cop and a crook, and so he became, in the end, Joe Fontana in the pantheon of “Law and Order.” May Farina rest in peace and may our memories of his talent last forever.

New Soccer Stadium Proposed for D.C. United


D.C. government is considering building a new soccer stadium for D.C. United, and on July 25, business leaders and government officials proposed to build a 20,000-seat soccer stadium at Buzzard Point in Southwest, D.C. Council members are weighing the project, which might bring new jobs and development to an underutilized section of the city.

At-large councilwoman Anita Bonds said in a release that she wants to hear from residents on the cost and feasibility of the plan and on the impact that the development for waterways and environment, its effect on the construction of the upcoming Frederick Douglass Bridge replacement, the transfer of the Reeves Center as well as ramifications on the Southwest and Southeast neighborhoods. Since the first Major League Soccer season in 1996, United has played its home games at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, a half-century-old football stadium with deteriorating infrastructure and outdated amenities. Meanwhile, United have seen its rival clubs build soccer-specific venues of their own as the league has grown. The new stadium would potentially open in 2016.

AOL to Delete One-Third of Patch Sites

August 12, 2013

Cost-cutting. News-gathering jobs lost. It’s not just for old-school newspapers. It is about to hit AOL’s hyperlocal digital news network, Patch.

Last week, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong caused a bit of a stir in the business world of journalism, whether digital or print, citizen or professional, when he said that about 500 jobs would be cut and that local Patch news sites which were not profitable would be closed or merged with other local websites, according to media reports. That means about one-third of the approximately 900 Patch sites across the U.S. would be affected. Specific job cuts by AOL have not yet been announced.

AOL stated at the beginning of 2013 that it expected its Patch network to be profitable by the end of the year.

For Georgetown and surrounding neighborhoods, some good news: Georgetown Patch — which launched Sept. 8, 2010 — appears safe from any chopping block, although this has not been confirmed. It is the only Patch site in the District of Columbia. Edited by Shaun Courtney, GeorgetownPatch.com is a lively and up-to-the-minute mix of breaking news, news you can, calendar events and community commentary.

Armstrong also caused another stir Aug. 9 when during a conference call to Patch employees he abruptly fired Patch creative director Abel Lenz for taking a photo of him as he was speaking, according to the media blog, JimRomenesko.com.

A former Google employee, Armstrong co-founded the hyperlocal Patch in 2007. He sold it to AOL for $7 million in 2009, when he became head of AOL.

Reporting on the belt-tightening announcement, the New York Post wrote, in part: “In some towns, Patch sites have become quite popular as go-to destinations for political, youth-sports and local news. In others, the small staff and infrequent updates rendered the sites seldom-visited cyber ghost-towns. … By some estimates, AOL has spent more than $300 million on Patch since 2009, and it has yet to turn a profit.”

There are 45 Patch sites in Maryland and 30 in Virginia. The Georgetowner tried to contact Georgetown Patch for comment but did not receive a response by press time.
