The Cleveland Park Historical Society

The Uptown Theater has never been at greater risk, because the DC Council is about to consider changes to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the historic Uptown block on Connecticut Avenue.  If passed, the FLUM changes will make it more likely that Washington DC’s iconic movie palace will never return as a theater and instead could be converted into a 9-story, dense mixed-use development.  The Uptown’s owner, presumably hoping that the DC Council changes the FLUM, has delayed the Uptown’s landmark nomination, thus endangering the Uptown further.

Don’t let them upFLUM the Uptown!
Timing is critical, because the Council is taking up the FLUM changes in the immediate future.

PLEASE WRITE NOW to the DC Council and ask them to REJECT FLUM Amendment No. 2123, and keep the current FLUM designation for the historic Uptown’s 3400 Connecticut Ave. block.
