Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Awful, awful story from yesterday. A 22 year old employee at Billy Martins was killed by an SUV-driver in a hit and run on Key Bridge (the driver was later arrested on I-66). The victim has a very young son. Billy Martin’s is gathering a fund to help the victim’s family (GM learned of this at last night’s ANC meeting, and he didn’t manage to write the victim’s name down.) Please reach out to the restaurant to pitch in to this worthy cause.
- Big Planet Comics store building is on the market. No word whether they’re getting kicked out. GM hopes they can stick around.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Yesterday’s Current had an op-ed by Georgetowner Cary Mitchell arguing against turning the Rose Park Path into a multi-use path. In it he states that he doesn’t like to “rat out” bikers for biking on the path. What he doesn’t note is that riding on the path is completely legal. It’s also unfortunate that he, a self-proclaimed biker, dismisses the need to bike on M St. If he feels so uncomfortable biking on M St., perhaps he should be advocating for improvements there too, instead of telling bikers they should just use the Rock Creek trail to go down to K St.
- GM got in too late last night to compile any more news, but he’ll catch up tomorrow.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- GM knew this was probably coming, but it doesn’t make it any easier to accept that Riccardo and Laura Bonino are closing up Griffin Market. The landlord is trying to jack up the rent by 40%. This landlord lives in Palm Beach and clearly is an idiot. Moreover they clearly don’t give a crap about Georgetown. On a brighter note, the Bonino’s might move on to another project in Georgetown. More details as they come along.
- Police raid Third Edition and, surprise surprise, they found a lot of fake IDs.
