Current PSAs Under Review
The PQNA (Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association) informed us that the current PQ’s PSA (Patrol Service Area) is being looked at by the MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) for splitting into smaller areas. The Penn Quarter is in the First District and is part of PSA 101 which really encompasses most of the downtown area west of I-395 plus a sliver to the east of North Capitol Street. We’ll keep you posted if we hear more.
Condo Fest Report
PQ Resident stopped by the McWilliams-Ballard condo fest at Halo in Logan Circle today. Attendance was brisk (although Halo’s smaller size may have contributed to the briskness) and the Penn Quarter was represented. The Ventana, the Artisan, the Dumont and 555 Mass Ave all had tables advertising sales. Of the four, the Dumont is the only one that is still under construction and is not a finished building or undergoing settlements. Also of note, the Artisan website has a whole slew of newly released floorplans.

Green Turtle To Open In April / One Metro Flat-Screen Goes Missing
Just a couple bumps for two of our commenters:
We believe the flat-screen in the 7th & H St entrance was just a quick proof of concept because this WTOP article states: To supplement the kiosks, separate 46-inch flat screen signs will be installed in the next few weeks at Gallery Place-Chinatown, Silver Spring and Rosslyn.
