As autumn colors wane, temperatures cool, and winter fast approaches, perhaps some greenery is “just what the doctor ordered," writes Cleveland Park resident Eileen Langholtz in her monthly Museum Musings article.

Consider visiting the United States Botanic Gardens to explore its impressive plant collection. While there, wander through a rainforest canopy; marvel at plant varieties that grew 150 million years ago alongside dinosaurs; examine specimens used in medical remedies long before pharmacies; and marvel at a cacao tree’s seed pods produced directly on its trunk.

Be sure to check out the museum’s popular holiday display Season’s Greenings, an annual extravaganza featuring model trains, festive lights, poinsettias, and holiday décor through January 5th!

🍂November Cover Story🦃

For Kimberly Galva and Chan Mazumdar, the decision to make a home in Cleveland Park was rooted in balance.

"We were looking for a mix of city living and enough space for Kimberly to teach violin lessons at home,” says Chan. “We love the mix of green space and being close to Rock Creek Park while having access to public transportation and urban amenities.”

Kimberly and Chan spend their time in many different social, cultural, and professional arenas. No matter their endeavor, they are grateful for the balance they have in each other.

“The Connections game urges players to find a shared theme among four words and inspired this grouping: butter, PBS, passion, France. What do these words have in common? If you guessed Julia Child, you’re correct,” resident Eileen Langholtz writes in her October article, ‘Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History’s exhibition, Food: Transforming the American Table.’

Julia Child had a career working for the Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor of today’s CIA) in the 1940s before she became a cooking sensation.

Some might say that Julia Child is an American treasure who reminded everyone that good food experiences start with cooking at home, especially during a time when dining was becoming a quick commodity and less of an experience.

Meet Winston Little Jeans Perks-Kozak: The Adorable Guard Dog! 🐶

The Perks-Kozak family, consisting of Michael, Zenobia, Genevieve, and Arlo, welcomed a new furry family member after the heartbreaking loss of their British Blue shorthair cat during the pandemic. Once ready for a new companion, they found a wonderful breeder in Virginia who introduced them to Winston Little Jeans Perks-Kozak, an 18-month-old Tri-color King Charles Cavalier.

Winston is the perfect addition to their family. His gentle nature and love of being a lap dog make him a great fit, especially with the kids. His name, Winston, is a nod to Winston Churchill, while “Little Jeans” is a fun homage to a character from a Wes Anderson film.

Since December last year, neighbors will have noticed ‘Flower Power,’ a 45-ft mural above Spices on Connecticut Ave. This is Cleveland Park’s first public mural and was painted by local figurative artist, Claire Sharp.

“I love painting figures, flowers and bold abstracts. The dramatic patterns and moody hues of roses are always a draw for me and what inspired this mural. I absolutely loved the whole experience of painting this mural as well as all the interactions and positive reaction it has generated. I can’t wait to do more.”

When she’s not swaying on a scissor lift, Claire exhibits all over the East Coast. Her most recent show, “Connecting,” earlier this year, was a huge hit, drawing the most seasonal visitors in the history of the hotel.

“I think the 12 large paintings, representing snapshots of people around Washington, D.C., are my strongest work so far,” states Claire.

To learn more about the art and inspiration of Claire Sharp, head over to and check out her incredible work!

August Museum Musings 🤔👨🏻‍🎨
By Resident Eileen Langholtz

Some artists are ahead of their time; one such painter was the celebrated 17th century Dutch master, Frans Hals. This year’s Frans Hals exhibition at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum celebrated his work. While the Rijksmuseum is far away for Washington residents, local art lovers can explore five of his portraits at the National Gallery of Art’s West Building in the Dutch and Flemish Galleries.

It appears Frans Hals is having a 21st century moment 358 years after his death, so seek out his art and determine for yourself if this Dutch painter was in fact ahead of his time.

Say Hello to Newton Junior Spaid! 🐾🦴

Cleveland Park residents Melanie and Michael Spaid have two fig trees at their home in Cleveland Park, which were a source of inspiration to his name. Given Newton loves romping underneath the one in the backyard, we think they chose wisely!

At first glance, he looks like a regular black and tan Dachshund, but once you get a closer look at him, he has a beautiful brindle pattern on his paws and chest. Melanie and Michael say he’s got sandals on his back feet! His long hair is apparently a result of recessive genes between his mom and dad, so he’s also quite large for a mini.

Newton is spoiled to PERFECTION! Michael’s employer has a benefit with which includes an extra toy in every package, so Newton is inheriting literal mountains of toys from his predecessor, Pepperoni.

Oh, and of course he has his own Instagram! Give him a follow

🎤August Cover Story📖

A Lifelong Journey in Art: Di Bagley Stovall’s Inspirational Story 🎨🖌️🖼️

Growing up in Columbus, Georgia, Di Bagley Stovall always knew that she wanted to be an artist. “My mother sewed beautifully, while my aunt quilted,” she says, “and I was intrigued by the patterns they created and colors they used.” She was equally inspired by her private art teacher, Barbara Pound, who painted landscapes in oil, watercolor and charcoal. “I fell in love with D.C. when I moved here to attend the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design in 1967,” Di continues, “and I also met and fell in love with my husband, Lou (Stovall)!”

Living in the same building, Di and Lou were friends for several years before romance blossomed. “It was an exciting time,” Di reminisces, “Lou was friends with the owner of the Bohemian Caverns - we went almost weekly to hear Roberta Flack.” The couple married in 1971 and moved to Cleveland Park in 1973. Initially house-sitting locally, Di admired a house without knowing that Lou was already talking to the owners about purchasing it. This has now been their much-loved family home for over 50 years.

🌿July Outdoor Oasis: 📍Rosedale

“A stroll down the red brick path along the front of Rosedale is getting a lot more interesting,” resident contributor and founder and Cleveland Park Resident Shari Wilson writes in this month’s issue. “Budding shrubs and flowering perennials have replaced a swath of invasive english ivy, Japanese honeysuckle and vinca tangle. The new native plant garden nestled on the east slope of Rosedale along Newark Street is coming into its own this year!”

“It’s a showplace for some of the loveliest and easiest to grow native plants — and there’s more. Our friends at Rosedale Conservancy have labeled the plants so we can all know what we are looking at. Very helpful!”

We love this monthly column, ‼️

💡July Sponsor Spotlight: Christine Basso Fitzgerald, TRR Sotheby’s International Realty💡

“Everyone thinks that Georgetown is the place to live. But if you want space and trees, and to breathe our history, Cleveland Park is where to be,” says Christine.

Having attended high school at Georgetown Visitation, Christine has experienced our city’s growth and change over the past 30 years. She has sold homes in every neighborhood and selected Cleveland Park as the home for her own family. Experienced and well-connected, she sees her relationships as critical to assisting clients in finding the right home. “With so much competition, it’s hard to buy here,” she explains, “and you need to know what’s coming onto the market before it does: my relationships mean that I always do.”

A recent client agrees that her painstaking approach delivers: “Christine’s value add is her deep empathy and her knowledge of the DC market stemming from 20+ years of experience. If you are serious about finding your next home and have a winning mindset, you should hire Christine.”

One surprising piece of information about Christine is that she is an introvert on a quest for internal tranquility. People categorize successful real estate agents as extroverts “but there is nothing I love more than the peace, quiet and singleness of a long swim”.
