Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Nice article on the return of the canal boat rides.
• US Capitol Police officer indicted for a hit-and-run that occurred in Georgetown in 2020.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Acclaimed national reporter Ryan Lizza at this week’s Q&A Cafe.
• Final admissions bribery case involving a GU student goes to trial.

It’s that time of year again.

Several weeks ago, GM noticed some robins building a nest in his patio umbrella. Soon after four little blue eggs appeared:

And then about a week ago, three of the eggs hatched. All day long the mom and dad robins fly back and forth delivering worms and bugs to those three hungry mouths. (It seems the fourth egg didn’t hatch. The reason you don’t see it in the photo with the chicks is likely that often the parents will eat unhatched eggs.)

GM’s happy they set up underneath the umbrella. Two years ago another robins nest appeared in GM’s hydrangea tree. Sadly after the chicks hatched, the crows found them. Hopefully these new chicks won’t be found hidden away like this!

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Yesterday marked the 151st anniversary of the end of the municipality of Georgetown, when it was folded in with the city and county of Washington into one unitary District of Columbia.
• Also, yesterday marked the anniversary of the official opening of the completed Capital Crescent Trail, connecting Georgetown to Bethesda.

A new mural adorns the rear of the historic Martin’s Tavern. It is the work of Matt Corrado, and it features an artistic depiction of the historic Georgetown theater (the other buildings don’t quite match the true streetscape, but close enough).

The label at the bottom left of the mural indicates that it was made to celebrate small businesses in Georgetown. The label also sheds some light on why exactly the mural depicts a giant elk looming over Wisconsin Ave. It’s sponsored by The Hartford insurance company.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Candidate tries to sue to get into tonight’s Mayoral debate at GU.
• Oh, and the mayor has deigned to actually attend.

Last week GM was awoken in the middle of the night by a loud mechanical noise. It lasted for about 20 seconds, then stopped. Although confused, GM was also pretty tired, and went swiftly back to sleep.

The next morning, however, he was reminded of the noise and checked his security cameras to see if they captured anything interesting. And boy did they.
