Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- This has nothing to do with Georgetown, DC, but GM has to say, he searches for photos of Georgetown in Flickr every day, and frequently see photos from the other Washington’s Georgetown. It’s like Seattle’s Brooklyn.
- Looking back at the short-lived Pinball Museum and it ships up to move to Baltimore.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Georgetowner likely to throw her hat in the ring to race for Ward 2 Councilmember against fellow Georgetowner, Jack Evans.
- Loop road taken out of Georgetown University’s campus plan. This was always something that Georgetowners seemed indifferent about, but Foxhall residents were strongly opposed to.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Very, very thorough history of Dumbarton House. Well not entirely thorough. The writer inexplicably fails to mention GM’s wedding, which was clearly the most important event Dumbarton House ever held…on May 9th…in 2009.
- CM Mendelsonn comes out against GU’s campus plan.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Former Senator Charles Percy, who was instrumental in the construction of the Georgetown Waterfront Park, died on Saturday, just days after the park he dreamed of was finally brought to completion.
- And speaking of that park, check out how much kids love that new fountain.
- In advance of more Zoning Commission hearings, GU rolls out several this-is-us-trying-to-please-the-neighbors initiatives. This is what’s going to happen: GU will argue that the earlier zoning commission testimonies need to be discounted since these measures now will fix the complaints. And the neighbors will argue that the measures won’t fix the problem and that this is exactly why they wanted the record closed for everything but the DDOT issues.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- GM heard through the grapevine that Griffin Market has been leased to someone who want to turn it into a neighborhood butcher shop (yay). Plus the old Consignment Shop next door may reopen as a coffee shop (double yay). Also, Panera might move in to the space next to Five Guys (boo).
- New NBC show stars Georgetown native Whitney Cummings. The show’s called “Whitney”, she plays (obviously) the title character, and her character’s mother is named “Patti” much like Whitney’s actual mother (and neighbor of GM) Patti Cumming.
- Streetcars to Georgetown as a jobs-driver.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- The final piece of the Georgetown Waterfront Park opened last night. Check out some pics from William Newton. Looks like the water feature is going to be awfully popular with kids.
- Good news for Georgetown seniors.
- GM heard some rumors about the mall: Target is pulling out, and now Vornado is targeting Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom’s, and/or Jeffrey’s. GM’s not really a department store shopper, so he would much prefer Target, but the department stores are more consistent with the neighborhood’s shops.
