Yesterday, Mike Peabody sent around an update on his group’s efforts to save Scheele’s market:
As you may know, Marilyn Melkonian, Peter Jost and myself, assisted by Eric Rome (attorney) have been in negotiation with Marc Teren to continue the operation of the store for the next 25 years.
We are inches apart still in the wording of the agreement and hope to have it signed shortly. It is discussed more fully in the attachment.
Once executed we must raise $75,000 prior to the closing to complete the agreement and we will be seeking pledges from you and others in the community who wish the store to be saved. We have pledges in hand for some $25,000 from persons close to the transaction.
Hope to have a clearer picture soon.

The Georgetown Current reported yesterday that various Georgetown leaders have been meeting recently to consider revamping Georgetown’s parking regulations. According to author Carol Buckley, members of the ANC, the BID and CAG are part of the ad hoc group.
The article indicates that among the options the group is considering is the concept of performance parking. Actually, they didn’t use that term exactly but the substance of the proposals mentioned amount to a type of performance parking.
GM laid out his out vision of performance parking for Georgetown way back in March. In a nutshell: performance parking attempts to price street-side parking in a way to discourage long-term use of the space. Cities using this approach raise the parking meter price high enough to ensure that there are always a decent number of spaces open. If people want to park longer term, they are encouraged to use the pay garages, of which Georgetown has plenty. Continue reading
