The Georgetown Metropolitan

Dent Place Market takes the pumpkin cake for putting up the scariest Halloween display in Georgetown. The sign on the window warns in blood-drenched letters “CHASE BANK COMING SOON…” Literally sends shivers down the spine.

Please remember to vote for the ANC position!

It’s very easy to miss this race when filling out a paper ballot, either for your mail-in ballot or in-person. That’s because it’s on the back, after most of the more, shall we say, important elections. So please remember to turn the ballot over!
