Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• GU running a production on the local DC Go-Go music scene.
• Good list of business ins and outs.

The Friends of Volta Park will be holding a park clean-up this Sunday from 8:30 to 10:30 am. Please come out and help the community keep this wonderful park looking its best!

And speaking of Volta Park, here’s just another reminder about the community meeting November 27th at the Georgetown Library at 6 pm where the field renovations will be discussed!I hope you can make it to both events!

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Corey Peterson is returning to Georgetown as VP of Community Engagement and Local Government Affairs. This is a huge win for the school and the neighborhood as his work in the community affairs office was critical for greatly improving the town-gown relations over the last 10 plus years.
• GLOW sneak peek.

This week for Georgetown Time Machine, I’m dipping back into the 30 year old photos from 1993. I chose today’s in honor of the fact this building will be vacant soon with the departure of the Edible Arrangements.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Secret Service agents opened fire at a group of people breaking into their car.
• New garden shop opens.

The popular (if not a bit omnipresent) Tatte Bakery is taking over the former Capital One Bank branch at the corner of Wisconsin and Q St., according to a building permit filed this month.

The bank closed last year after having occupied the lot since the 90s. (Prior to that it was a gas station for many years). Built in the house style of Chevy Chase Bank, the building is attractive but not actually historic. As such it could be razed. But when Roadside Development purchased the property this summer, they announced plans to keep the building and bring in retail. That’s where Tatte comes in.

The Boston-based bakery has been on a rapid expansion into the DC market in the last couple years. There have long been rumors of it finally cracking into Georgetown, but this is the first concrete sign I’ve seen of it actually coming.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Georgetown GLOW to return.
• Bellringer Ride raises over $1 million.

In response to a request for a follow-up meeting concerning the plans to renovate Volta Park, DPR and DGS will be hosting a community information session November 27th at the Georgetown Library. (A virtual option will also be available here.)

There is a great deal of interest in the designs of what the city is planning for the park, particularly with regards to potential fencing. I look forward to seeing the plans and hearing the response from the public. If you’re interested in learning more, please come!

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• The Kardashianization of M St.
• Come out to hear from business writer William Cohan at the next Q&A Cafe.

There will be a public meeting to discuss the status of the plans for the major Jelleff Rec Center renovation. It will be Wednesday night from 6pm to 7:30pm. It will be both in-person, at the Georgetown Library, and virtual (at this link).

This budget and scope of this project has grown quite a bit as a result of strong advocacy. This meeting will reveal the updated status of the design concept for the project. So if you want to hear and weigh in, don’t miss this meeting!
