Former President (and potential first “first gentleman”) Bill Clinton will speak at Georgetown University Tuesday, April 21, in the third of four lectures he plans to give at the Jesuit institution.

The university stated online: “The lectures examine the framework for a lifetime spent championing an idea espoused by his Georgetown professor Carroll Quigley: that America is the greatest nation in history because our people have always believed in two things — that tomorrow can be better than today and that every one of us has a personal, moral responsibility to make it so.”

The first of the Clinton lectures came in 2013, when the former president spoke on his background and the purpose of service. Clinton returned last year to argue the importance of public policy in a defense of Obamacare. There is no word yet on what Clinton is set to talk about tomorrow but it’s unlikely that he goes to bat for his wife’s presidential campaign – yet. He told Town & Country that his role “should primarily be as a backstage adviser” until the end of the campaign.

Clinton gave a series of talks at Georgetown University in 1991, as well, as he ramped up his own presidential campaign. In those three lectures, Clinton laid out a “New Covenant” on community, the economy and American security.

In a bit of happenstance, Clinton’s former foreign policy ally, ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair will speak at Georgetown on Thursday, April 23, on “The Global Future of Development.” The university wrote online that his speech continues “a semester-long conversation” on the topic convened by the school’s new Global Futures Initiative, which invites world leaders in the public sector, business, and civil society to engage with the university community around critical issues.

The Global Citizen 2015 Earth Concert packed the National Mall with an estimated 300,000 persons April 18.

Dignitaries invited to attend were United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde.

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and TV news journalist Soledad O’Brien hosted the event. Chris Martin of Coldplay was in attendance because of his role as curator for Global Citizen. The concert featured performances by Mary J. Blige, Usher, Train, Fall Out Boy and No Doubt.

The concert was powered by solar energy. Food trucks, serving the rally attendees, surrounded the grounds of the National Mall. Trash and recycling bins were overflowing by the end of the event.

The rally was presented through the combining efforts with the Global Poverty Project to end extreme poverty. It also coincided with meetings at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington.

Attendees were asked to sign petitions for a U.N. conference on climate change, taking place in Paris during December.

New speed enforcement cameras in the District were activated by the Metropolitan Police Department May 4. The five new locations joint the more 300 speed camera locations across the city, according to the District Department of Transportation.

During the first 30 days, violators will receive a warning ticket. Once the 30-day period is ended, speeders will receive a full-fledged speeding tickets.

Speed cameras — two of which are next to Georgetown — have just been set up at:
= 2600 block of Wisconsin Avenue NW, northbound
= 4400 block of Reservoir Road NW, eastbound
= 700 block of Maryland Avenue NW, southbound  
= 2400 block of 18th Street NE, southbound
= 3000 block of Pennsylvania Avenue SE, northwestbound  

According to WJLA News, the District saw a sharp drop in revenue from $75 million in fiscal 2013 to $37 million in fiscal 2014.

In April, six new cameras were set up at:
= 6100 block of Eastern Avenue NE, southeastbound
= 3200 block of Fort Lincoln Drive NE, southbound
= 600 block of Kenilworth Avenue NE, southbound
= 1400 block of South Capitol Street, northbound and southbound
= 1900 block of Branch Avenue SE, southbound

S&R Foundation has signed a contract with George Washington University to purchase the Fillmore School property on 35th Street. 

Formed in 2000 by Dr. Sachiko Kuno and Dr. Ryuji Ueno, the foundation also operates from Evermay Estate and Halcyon House in Georgetown.

S&R Foundation — which holds its Overtures Series and other musical events at Evermay on 28th Street and its Halcyon Incubator, a fellowship for young social entrepreneurs, at Halcyon House on Prospect Street — will now have a third historic property in Georgetown.

As a new owner of the Fillmore property, S&R and the announcement will likely be applauded by those live nearby, as it plans to use Fillmore as an arts incubator, which will serve as “a platform to grow talented artists in the fields of fine, visual and performing arts, maintaining the educational use of the building and its place as part of the vibrant arts landscape in the nation’s capital.”

The Fillmore School property will fit with the mission of the S&R Foundation, which is to “support talented individuals has evolved to encompass broad support of individuals with great potential and high aspirations in the arts, sciences and social entrepreneurship, with a special emphasis on furthering international cultural collaboration and ensuing social benefits .”

“Through S&R’s expansion of arts education at the Fillmore School, we will continue S&R’s commitment to supporting excellence in artistry, innovation and entrepreneurship in an environment that encourages international collaboration,” said Sachiko Kuno, CEO and president of S&R Foundation. “We also are excited to expand our commitment to supporting talented artists in Washington, D.C., especially those from underserved communities.”

The Fillmore School property, located at 1801 35th St. NW, was listed for $14 million with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty by seller George Washington University. The property holds a former D.C. public school, built in 1893, and then an arts center. It was sold to the Corcoran in 1998.  

The university acquired the historic schoolhouse and its more than one acre of land last year as part of a deal with the National Gallery of Art and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, when GWU took possession of all Corcoran real estate. The Fillmore space has been used by the Corcoran College of Art and Design since it purchased the former D.C. public school in 1998. Classes will be held in the Fillmore building until the end of the spring semester.

Here’s what TTR Sotheby’s International Realty wrote in its listing for the 35th Street property: “The Fillmore School is a landmark opportunity in Georgetown. Built circa 1893 and named after President Millard Fillmore, the school served as an architectural and educational anchor for the community for more than a century. The all-brick, fully detached structure encompasses nearly 23,000 square feet of finished space on four levels. Notable features include soaring ceilings, double hung windows, a modern elevator and two staircases. The existing building holds tremendous conversion potential, ranging from condominiums or apartments to office or institutional use. The 1.25-acre site offers parking for 100 cars and frontage on 34th and 35th Streets NW.”

The seller was represented by Michael Brennan, Phyllis Patterson and Brittany Patterson of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, and the buyer was represented by Mark McFadden of Washington Fine Properties.

Former President (and potential first man) William Jefferson Clinton spoke Tuesday, April 21, at Georgetown University. Clinton’s hour-long speech meandered at times, touching on foreign policy, his time as president and even the Whitewater scandal. The talk, the third of four Georgetown lectures by Clinton taking place over several years, didn’t touch explicitly on his wife’s presidential campaign. (His topic was how Americans have a responsibility to shape the country into a better place than it is today.) Clinton had previously told Town & Country Magazine that his role “should primarily be as a backstage adviser.” On Thursday, April 23, Clinton’s ex-world-leader-buddy, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, will speak at the university at the invitation of Georgetown’s Global Futures Initiative.

Every year, eventually, spring comes to Washington.

The long-awaited season is an outward-bound explosion, an effusion of nature, basking in our admiration and seemingly pleased with itself for making it all look so easy.

Spring is bulbs, petals, digging shears and gardening shovels, blossoming trees, snaking vines, perennials and tulips and the fluttering, scooting, climbing critters that gad about in this profusion of natural wealth.

Here in Georgetown, spring is again the season of the Georgetown Garden Tour – the 87th annual – presented by the Georgetown Garden Club, an affiliate of the Garden Club of America, on Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A tea with light refreshments will be served by garden club members from 2 to 4 p.m. at Christ Church, 3116 O St. NW.

Every garden tour is an opportunity to engage with one of the aspects of Georgetown that make it special, and so attractive to visitors. The tour offers ticket holders the chance to see – and take in with deep breaths – eight gardens, four each on Georgetown’s west and east sides.

“I believe that the garden tour and the garden club have had a tremendous effect on Georgetown. It’s very important to the community,” said Barbara Downs, a member and former president of the Georgetown Garden Club. “The proceeds alone have gone a long way to help preserve the natural quality of Georgetown, not just gardens, but foliage, trees, parks, places where we gather.”

Over the years, the Georgetown Garden Club, with proceeds of the tour and other fundraising efforts, has contributed to what it describes as “the greening of Georgetown, the tree-lined streets and the public parks.” Beneficiaries include Book Hill Park, the Georgetown Public Library, Montrose Park, Volta Park, Rose Park, Tudor Place Historic House and Garden, Trees for Georgetown, Dumbarton Oaks Park Conservancy and the Student Conservation Association.

This is about natural beauty, aided and abetted by particular people’s penchants for digging, growing, designing and beautifying, sometimes with the help of professional designers. Right here on earth, gardens mingle soil, trees, flowers, vegetation, pathways and works of sculptural art into an infinite variety of singular places.

This is not for just for show, but for civilized comfort, a way of living and looking. Here is where you can sit in an artful patio, to read, to commune, to dine, to enjoy a glass of wine in a space of one’s own.

Downs’s own garden has “a Japanese, Asian feel,” she said, and includes a bubbly fountain for birds, dogwoods and spring flowers, including irises and tulips.

To some extent, the annual garden tour always carries with it elements of mystery and serendipity. The yearly trek to homes and gardens in Georgetown reveals more than one secret of Georgetown living, not only the gardens themselves but the actual size and depth of the residences. This is revealed in the house tour, too, but the experience of patios and gardens adds to it.

From the view of a passerby, Georgetown’s homes always hide themselves a little. It’s hard to apprehend the actual size, the spaces, the depth and length of a house, not to mention its close proximity to others. (This does not include most mansions, which are very bold and rarely hidden.)

Tour sites range across Georgetown: 1248 30th St., 2824 O St., 1642 29th St., 3025 P St., 3413 P St., 3417 P St., 3314 O St. and 3327 N St.

On the east side, you’ll find a garden with pavement patterns in brick and limestone and columns of small bamboo. In another garden (a wrap-around) are fig trees, crepe myrtles, oakleaf hydrangeas, Italian pots. Yet another has a contemporary design, with grass steps, crepe myrtles in tubs and modern sculpture. In a large, historic garden in the center of the village, by a sweeping lawn with a pool, stand a large wall clock from a church tower in Provence and a marker showing Georgetown’s old boundary line.

On the west side, you’ll find a curvilinear, multilevel garden, with niches, an armillary sphere and a fishpond with aquatic plants. Nearby is a brick-paved garden with a French touch, including an aerial hedge, water features, hornbeams and espaliered camellias, all framed by a lattice fence. Elsewhere, a former carriage house offers an arched entrance with a wooden gate (once for horses), a tap pool and a hot tub. Another home features walks, gravel and a terrace. The owner’s love of plants is evident in three beds showcasing perennials, ferns and knockout yellow roses, as well as in the mature trees.

This year, the Georgetown Garden Club has published a book that not only serves as a companion to the tour but stands on its own. “Gardens of Georgetown: Exploring Urban Treasures” was written with great, understated grace by Georgetown author Edith Nalle Schafer.

Schafer, a genuine Georgetown citizen and treasure herself, has been a chronicler of Georgetown life for many years, through books, stories and essays. She has a gift for getting to the heart of what makes the village special. Her egalitarian style celebrates the village’s permanent things: buildings, churches and art, sidewalks and steeples, temperature and weather and the way all those things endure amid changes great and small.

Last week, the Georgetown Garden Club held a reception and book signing at the home of Jerry and June Libin on P Street. The evening, the place and the people there were a kind of reflection in miniature of what house and garden tours are about. After a slight drizzle during the evening, Libin, a noted tax attorney, stood in his own garden of trees, foliage, space and a covered pool and said, “I always love it out here after the rain. Everything feels fresh and new.”

“Gardens of Georgetown,” with spectacular, detailed photographs by Jenny Gorman, is a broadly painted but sharply detailed view of Georgetown as reflected in its gardens. In the book, Schafer defines our need for gardens, their purposefulness.

There is philosophy in this book. Sights are described directly with an economy of words that never lack impact. This goes for narrative text and for the photo captions that Schafer has helped along with quotes from philosophers and literary types (from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Virginia Woolf and the always astute “Unknown”).

Yet amid the pages, Schafer is her own best philosopher. She doesn’t need much help to describe what the photographs reveal. Her writing manages the difficult feat of being both pragmatic and entirely, hauntingly lovely.

Gardens are like that, too – having the all-at-once qualities of the necessary and the truly priceless. In digging up dirt, planting and contemplating the results, we manage to make art and gain a satisfaction properly enjoyed under trees, by a fountain, at night with the air fresh from rain and memory.

Former D.C. Council member Jim Graham is taking on a new career. He is now special events director at the House, a strip club on Georgia Avenue NW. A supporter of adult entertainment during his time on the Council, Graham proposed legislation to make it easier for strip clubs to open.

The club’s gay-night series debuted Sunday, April 19, with a show called “Rock Hard Sunday.” Cover for the debut was $15, a third of which was donated to Whitman-Walker Health, which provides primary-care services to the LGBT community. The Washington Blade reported that the male dancers were going to make good use of Graham’s signature accessory, the bow tie.

“They are going to put them on and at some point they will dispose of the bow ties in the audience,” Graham was quoted as saying. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Graham is also in charge of the Thursday night series, which features nude male dancing for women.

“I wanted something that was fun, and quite honestly, I want to make a buck or two,” he said in an interview with NBC Washington about his new job. (Once upon a time, Graham attempted to get his current employer’s liquor license revoked.) In addition, Graham is working as a consultant for Clean and Sober, a nonprofit that aims to help those recovering from substance abuse.

The District Department of Transportation has announced that it will implement new traffic signal timing plans for almost 650 intersections in the greater downtown Washington, D.C., area. The so-called timing optimization will be start 8 p.m., Friday, April 24, and continue throughout May.

This is expected to reduce motorist travel times and reduce emissions and fuel consumption, DDOT says. It will improve traffic flow, reduce transit running times and optimize pedestrian crossing times. The citywide signal optimization initiative started in 2012, and it will enhance D.C.’s entire traffic signal network of more than 1,650 signals by the end of 2016.

The project will be done in various downtown areas. A few intersections in Georgetown along M Street and Wisconsin Avenue are included in the effort. The project area boundary also includes 23rd Street NW to the west, North Capitol Street to the east, U Street and Florida Avenue NW to the north and I-395 to the south.

DDOT says it will be monitoring and making adjustments to the traffic signal timing operations, throughout April and May. DDOT advises motorists to use caution in these areas as drivers become acquainted with the new signal timing patterns.
