Through the efforts of dedicated neighbors like Malcolm Peabody, the long term future of Scheele’s Market is secure. To recap: Jordan O’Neill purchased the building from the Scheele family and has signed a covenant with a group of neighbors to keep the market open for at least 15 years. In exchange for the covenant, the neighbors have agreed to pay O’Neill $75,000.
So far the Save Scheele’s fund has raised almost the complete amount it needs. Sixty neighbors have contributed $55,000 total. To push the over the top, tomorrow night there will be a block party. It will kick off at 6:00 and go till 9:00 and will be on 29th between O and Dumbarton. You can bring your donation (a check made out to Friends of Scheele’s) to the party.
This will also be a chance to celebrate and say good bye to the Lee family who retired from running the market this year after 20+ years.
So come on over!
The Georgetown Metropolitan 
GM, you need a new photo of Scheele’s! They’ve done a wonderful job renovating the exterior… Now, beyond the invaluable service they provide to the community, they’re lovely to look at!
My Scheele ancestors would be happy to see the market carried on. Good going…. Thank you… hope to see you at block party.
