…GM was married at Dumbarton House. Ten years later Ms. GM still sticks up with him! XOXO

Fun story: Leading up to the wedding, sometimes when GM would tell people that he was getting married at Dumbarton House, their eyes would get really big and they’d say “Wow!” Those were the times GM knew they thought he meant Dumbarton Oaks. “No, not Dumbarton Oaks. Dumbarton House. Still pretty nice though…”

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• A third of all homes in Georgetown are sold for all cash.
• A perfect day ending in Georgetown?

Dumbarton Oaks

GM walked by this scene over the weekend. A motorcycle was parked with its wheel right up against the curb. This resulted in a mini flooding situation.

This probably didn’t cause any serious issues, but with a heavier rain it could. So be careful when you’re parking! Make sure to leave a little more room between your tires and the curb. The residents next to your car or motorcycle would surely appreciate not getting the sidewalk flooded, which could lead to house flooding.
