It’s all about the neighborhood
Last month saw the kick-off of a new social gathering called the "People of Petworth." The new social is the idea of three residents who want to create a more "social" social by meeting up at a bar. It's a good way to try out new restaurants/bars and hang out with your neighbors. Everyone is invited to attend.

Read MorePetworth is getting known for its Socials... from Grant Circle to Southwest Petworth to Sherman Circle. Add to this list one more, a new Friday evening social to be held at local bars in the neighborhood. It doesn't really have a name yet, but the idea is simple: meet your neighbors, grab a drink and be social.

Read MoreThe next (and 8th!) Grant Circle Social is Wednesday, August 19th from 6-7pm at the Grant Circle, appropriately enough.
Stop by on your way home from work, on your way to the grocery store, before grabbing a bite to eat, or while walking your dog. Stop by with friends, neighbors, and/or kids for 5 minutes or the full hour! And please, invite your neighbors who may not be online and drag them along!
To help beat the heat, this week will feature refreshing ice pops courtesy of neighbor (and Petworth News sponsor) Eddie Suarez!
Hope to see you out there. And if you are interested in co-hosting a future Grant Circle Social please contact Rob Mandle.

Neighbors braved the potential threat of rain and came out to the Grant Circle Social tonight, and were rewarded with no rain, cool(er) air and a bunch of people waiting to meet. There were new faces joining us tonight, as well as some "regulars." It was great to see everyone (and to meet Brandon Todd's mom!).
