The 2010 Census is hiring for part-time temporary field workers in their communities in the District. These positions are critical for our community in Mount Vernon Square because for every Census form not returned, our District loses an estimated $3,000 per resident each year for public services(hospitals, schools, etc.) until the next Census (10 years from now!). These jobs are excellent for people who want to work part-time, those who are between jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community. If you know someone who is looking, please pass this information along. Pay starts at $20.00 per hour.
Apply today by calling 1-866-861-2010 to locate your local Census office in DC .

As someone relatively new to the area, can anyone tell me the deal with the store at 5th & N? There are a number of times I've wanted to go there to do some light shopping, but it feels like in the last few months they've only been open maybe a couple of days.
My company is developing the 451-453 Ridge St lot. We look to complete the project in March/April and will sell 2 2br/2ba condominiums, both about 1050 square feet, with outdoor space, and parking. If you're interested in getting a sneak preview before we take them to the market, please email me at Lindsay@ReishmanRealEstate.com.
We also have one extra parking space in the alley, which we share with the 400 block of N St. If you're interested in purchasing the parking space, it is separately deeded and we are ready to sell it! Price is negotiable.

As we enter 2010, I hope you will consider renewing your membership in the Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association. Currently, dues are set at $20 for individuals / $40 for households. You can also choose to give a larger or smaller amount. Funding for MVSNA is critical. Membership dues pay for production of our newsletter, including paper and toner. It also supports neighborhood events, such as the picnic in Mount Vernon Square, and helps provide supplies for clean-ups when needed. Finally, there are routine administrative expenses, such as our incorporation fees. Contributions are not tax deductable as MVSNA is not a registered 501(c)(3) with the IRS. We are in the process of completing that paperwork, which involves filing fees that will also be financed by your contributions. You can download a membership form here. The mailing address is provided on the membership application/renewal form.
Our Board of Director elections are also quickly approaching. At the January 19 meeting, the Nominating Committee put forward the following slate: Cary Silverman, President; No nomination, 1st Vice President; DeeDee Slewka, 2nd Vice President; Rickey Williams, Treasurer; Si Kailian, Corresponding Secretary; Jefferson Parke, Recording Secretary. At-Large (5 Positions): Rob Amos, Jonathan Cohen, Merc Fox, Lydia Goring, Warren McBroom, John Thompson. Anyone who would like to serve should contact the Nominating Committee appointed by the Board of Directors: Merc Fox, Si Kailian, or Jonathan Cohen. MVSNA will hold elections at the next membership meeting on February 16 at 7:30 pm at the Yale Laundry Lofts.
Buzzuto Development Company is asking District's Historic Preservation Review Board for a two year delay on its planned residential development at 460 Block New York Avenue NW, according to DC Mud. Construction was slated to begin on the project, on the west side of the block, in 2010. The planned 13-story building would include 87 residential units for a total of 85,555 square feet. The plan includes demolishing the deteriorating small store/residence (known as the "Boner building" for its graffiti) from the 1870s and literally picking up and moving westward the other remaining three-story residential property dating from 1902.
Next door, however, construction on Yale Laundry Lofts II has resumed after IBG secured a $50 million Housing and Urban Development loan, as reported in the Washington Business Journal. After the developer had excavated the site, leaving a massive hole, construction stopped for several months. Now, completion of the second building, which will deliver 218 apartments, is expected in late 2011.
Dear Residents of Mount Vernon!
My friend and I are relatively new to the area and we are looking for a place to rent near or around Mount Vernon (we really like this part of town!). This task might prove itself easier if I (in particular) was not such a budget. Thus comes our request! If you or someone you know happens to have an empty house/room/attic or basement apt available we would very likely be interested in living there! **Also, if it's a space in dire straights both of us have a lot of experience on fixing up places as well! If you'd like to strike a deal on making a particular space more livable and thus easier to rent in the future (if desired) then please email or call me! Along with really low rent ($700 or less for both of us...) We are looking for approx. a 6 month time span.
A little bit about us: Both of us are from Asheville, North Carolina. I (Roxanne) graduated from UNC Chapel Hill this past May with degrees in Photojournalism and Studio Art and am trying to create a start with freelance photography. I could also do an art trade for partial rent if someone happened to be interested in custom paintings (on or off the wall). My friend Hana went to school at Vanderbilt and is currently an international intern for the Alliance to Save Energy; she also speaks Russian, has worked in the green building industry and can cook yummy thai food.
My email is roxanneturpen@gmail.com and you can reach me anytime at 919.923.9849 -we are looking to move in by Feb 1st (if not sooner) so please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or quotes if you know of anything!
Thanks so much Mt Vernon!
