1/16/23 MLK Jr Day legacy of MLK–less traffic on the roads during bike commute this morning and tonight due to the holiday marking his bday. Photo of I395 from Seminary Rd overpass pedestrian bridge at rush hour.

Right after his assassInation in 1968, efforts began to create a Federal Holiday in his memory. It took until Reagan signed it into being in 1983 with first celebration of the holiday in 1986. Next year, the Monday Holiday will fall on his actual bday Jan 15.

01/16/23 – something MLK

I rode in today’s MLK Memorial Ride organized by a slew of local DMV cycling clubs led by the District Cycling Collective & Getting It In that visited the Memorial, MLK Library & the Parade on MLK Blvd. However it was this evening’s show at the Kennedy that moved my spirit, and not only because I rode an e-CaBi to get there!

A musical tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. featuring Leslie Odom, Jr. and the Let Freedom Ring Choir led by Music Producer Nolan Williams, Jr. The annual program is presented as part of the Center’s Millennium Stage free performance series.

Prohibition

First Alcoholic Beverage Control store in N.C. opened here, July 2, 1935, ending Prohibition, state law since 1909.

1/17/2023 Prohibition
Montgomery County still has its own form of Prohibition. The wine and beer store on the left exists only because the supermarket on the right is not permitted to sell alcohol. And even the wine and beer store is not permitted to sell liquor; that can be sold only by the county.

Amusingly, private parties are allowed to sell marijuana for medicinal purposes now, and will soon be allowed to sell it for recreational purposes.

1/17/23: Prohibition Begins

My bike and I are enjoying some bathtub gin today. We had a grand time, darlings!!!

(Bonus: found the empty bottle on the side of the road and properly disposed of it after it served its purpose.)

1/17/23: Prohibition Begins

The Temperance Fountain was donated to DC in 1882 by Dr. Henry Cogswell, a crusader in the temperance movement. He believed that access to cool drinking water would keep people from consuming alcohol.

The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was one of the driving forces behind the ratification of the 18th Amendment.
