ANC July Preview
ANC2E meets next Monday for the July meeting (despite the fact that it will still be technically what most people call “June”). What’s in store for the last ANC meeting before September? We’ve got liquor, a Piccolo, and some Swedes. Who would want to miss out in that fun?

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- The Georgetowner asks: where’d all the mailboxes go?
- Washington Business Journal thinks the corner of Calvert and Wisconsin is in Georgetown
- The Current reports that the reimbursable detail for which the BID is paying $100,000 is for the Summer only. GM mistakenly thought it was for the whole year.

OGB Applications Suggest Uptick in Activity
While GM was digging into the minutes of the Old Georgetown Board the other day, he started charting the board’s activity over the last several years. When you gather that data, it gives a picture of how commercial and residential construction has fluctuated over that time period. Plotting it all out shows that this activity hit bottom this winter but has shown a strong rebound through this spring. More on this and other interesting information after the jump:

Old Georgetown Board Approves Parking Pad Over ANC and Neighbor Objection
As GM discussed recently, the owners of 3020 Cambridge Place came before the ANC and the Old Georgetown Board twice recently to request the installation of a parking pad on their property adjoining the alley behind their house.
In May, the owners (who apparently don’t actually live there) requested approval to construct the parking pad. The ANC, perhaps in deference to the strong showing from neighbors objecting to the construction, decided not to approve the designs. According to the architect’s testimony at the June ANC meeting, the OGB also rejected the proposal but left the door open. Continue reading

Good morning Georgetown. GM’s prayers are with the victims of the Metrorail crash yesterday and their friends and families. While it seems particularly trite this morning, here’s the latest:
- The Georgetown Running Company gives us a well needed laugh with its fantastic coverage of the Georgetown Fathers Day 8k, it brought back in GM some chilling memories from high school XC
- Something will be filming down at the Georgetown Waterfront all Wednesday afternoon. It’s not clear whether it’s that James L. Brooks movie or if it’s more from Plumegate. Apparently it will involve fake rain, although with the weather as it’s been, maybe they can forego the fake part.
- (After a little digging, turns out it is that Brooks movie). Hey, at least it’s not the Real World. At least not yet…
