Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Nice look inside the forthcoming Eno Wine Bar.
- Obviously the Georgetowner doesn’t know where GM lives. Certainly that’s the only possible reason he was left of this map.

Reminder: Gala This Weekend
Hey, don’t forget that this weekend in the CAG annual gala at the Italian embassy. You don’t have to be a member to go, but it’s a good time to join up as it reduces the ticket price.
There will be a bunch of great items up for auction, including a two bedroom apartment in Florence, Italy with an “exquisite terrace” with an incredible view of the historic city.
And GM was told that it is a legit masked ball, so bring one along!
GM hopes to see you there.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Hopefully the shutdown will be ended this week, but just in case, GU is still offering more free classes to furloughed workers.

Leaf Peeping in Georgetown
GM is heading up to the Berkshires this weekend to visit family. He expects to get in some serious leaf peeping. But if you’re stuck here you can still enjoy some great foliage without even leaving the neighborhood.
Casey Trees has pulled together a fantastic little tool, it’s a map of downtown DC with several different trails laid out that you can take and admire quality street tree foliage. In Georgetown it recommends a meandering trail through the heart of the village to enjoy its sugar maples:

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Seems like the top five things you should expect from a new Reebok store would go something like: 1: They’ll sell Reeboks 2: They’ll sell Ree..oh wait no there’s just one thing.
- Hey, two great events this weekend: the BID’s newly imagined Fashion and Design (FAD), which is replacing Fashion Night Out in order to capture Georgetown’s big design market too. Also, don’t forget St. John’s book fair Saturday from 10 – 3 on Saturday.

Camera Helps Nab Bike Thief
Over the past couple months, Georgetown has been the victim of a bike theft crime wave. Garages in particular have been a frequent target, as thieves break in (or just walk in if the door’s open) and wheel off with his loot.
Well MPD is confident that the perpetrator of many, if not all, of these crimes is now behind bars. And the sometimes controversial street cameras played a key in the collar.
GM learned via the excellent CAG Public Safety program the following: apparently safety cameras operated by MPD captured the image of a man walking down the sidewalk pushing two bikes. Thinking this was suspicious given the recent thefts, MPD captured a still of the individual and printed it out. The photo was circulated around and a parole officer recognized the individual as one of her charges. An arrest warrant was duly issued. Continue reading

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Could river taxis, including ones connecting Georgetown, finally become more than a novelty in DC? GM kinda doubts it. Between the speed limits and the lack of residential and commercial development right on the water, there’s not much chance for it.
- The Current gave nice coverage to the Georgetown 2028 project.
