DC Link Roundup: Heard In The ‘Hood

Posted by pqresident
September 7, 2009

Happy Labor Day!

(read on if you want to see caught our attention this week around Washington DC)

Downtown (6 links)

A look back at the old Capital Garage which once stood at the intersection of New York Ave and H Street. [Greater Greater Washington]

At night and high up downtown, you can hear train’s blowing their whistles. This article explains their route through Washington. They’re closer to downtown than you think. [Greater Greater Washington]

A good discussion about future use of the Franklin School. Imagine it being a community college…we certainly can. [The Other 35 Percent]

The Gales School was supposed to become downtown’s low barrier shelter. What happened? [The Other 35 Percent]

A new gastropub is planned for 11th and New York Avenue. [The (Mount Vernon) Triangle]

Southwest DC – FEMA is redrawing the flood zones for Washington DC and the southern part of the Penn Quarter barely escapes being included in an interior flood plain which would have had home insurance impacts. There will be an ANC6D meeting on September 14 to discuss FEMA grandfathering rules about flood insurance. [SWDC Blog]

Penn Quarter/Chinatown – Zengo, a restaurant on 7th Street, gets a review. [We Love DC]

H Street NE – An interesting discussion about whether or not H Street is the next up and coming neighborhood. Is buying there a risky proposition? [Frozen Tropics]

Anacostia – FIOS’ first neighborhood deployment arrives in Anacostia. [And Now, Anacostia]

Capitol Waterfront – A review of Cornercopia, a new corner store near the Capitol Quarter development and Nats Park. Wish we had one of these stores in the Penn Quarter. [Capital Spice]
