Gypsy Sally’s Opens Tonight
Tonight Georgetown’s newest music venue opens: Gypsy Sally’s. It is located on the second floor of the old ice house that now contains the equally new Malmaison.
Conceived as a Americana roots version of Blues Alley, Gypsy Sally’s is a welcome concept. And its a concept that used to typify Georgetown, back when the Cellar Door, Desperado’s and the Bayou (which once stood just down the street from where Gypsy Sally’s now is). Continue reading

Church For Sale
A historic Georgetown church, and its attached apartment building, has just been listed for sale.
The church is the Alexander Memorial Baptist Church at 27th and O. It has a long history in Georgetown. It was named after Rev. Sandy Alexander, an ex-slave who founded the First Baptist Church, which still stands at 26th and P. A group of dissatisfied parishioners, unhappy with the appointment of a young pastor, broke away from the First Baptist Church in 1906 and formed the new church around the corner.
GM has not heard anything about the church closing. The number listed for the church reaches a voice mail that says nothing about closing. GM reached out to the broker to confirm the listing, but has not had his call returned.
The listing sure doesn’t leave much doubt:
SITE CONSISTS OF 3 LAND PARCELS TOTALING 13,680 SQ. FT. EXISTING IMPROVMENTS INCLUDE A CHURCH AND 3-STORY ATTACHED APARTMENT BUILDING. CONDO CONVERSION OPPORTUNITY OR LUXURIOUS SINGLE FAMILY SITE. Continue reading

More Bike Parking Needed at Waterfront
GM was down by the waterfront this weekend and noticed the unfortunate site you see above: bikes locked to trees. Seriously people: don’t do this. It’s really bad for the trees and cause damage which itself could invite disease and ultimately the demise of the tree.
So please don’t do this.
But, when you see people making this poor decision, it’s important to ask why. And the clear answer is that there’s not enough bike parking at the park. Continue reading
