Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• New design proposed for the hotel to replace the old Latham hotel.
• Jack Evans is trying to act like he really cares about ethics. It’s like the way that kid from middle school couldn’t shut up about how deeply he was in love with his girlfriend from Canada.

Many businesses in Georgetown have ground to a halt. But the real estate business has not totally frozen, at least according to the listings.
