Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Check out the new Vogue magazine this month, it contains excerpts from Carol Joynt’s upcoming new book.
- O St.’s version of “The Wave” featured in collection of shots of great murals around town. Anyone know the story behind it?












“The Wave” on “O” Street was commissioned by Michael and Merete Gerli, who owned the house in the 1970s. He is now Commonwealth Professor of Spanish at U Va. She is a senior official with the Library of Congress.
Thanks Nemo! I’ve wondered about that for years. I considered just knocking on the door and asking, but it’s a rental now so I didn’t think they’d know the origins of the mural. Glad to have that mystery answered.
