Police Boat Gets Totally Out of Control, Sinks Boat
On Sunday, an MPD police boat performed a dramatic u-turn immediately next to the Washington Harbour in Georgetown. As you can see above, unfortunately for two docked boats, the u-turn was poorly executed.
Later the closer boat sunk (actually technically it turtled). Continue reading

Mall Begins New Era Soon

The Current reported this week that the large anchors of the new Georgetown Mall will open next month. Those anchors are TJ Maxx, its sister store Home Goods, and a “flagship” H & M. The new J Crew has already opened. Pinstripes, the fancy bowling alley, will be open later this year.
When GM originally broke the news about TJ Maxx and Homegoods, he also was tipped that Michaels might also come. It doesn’t appear that that is likely to happen now.

Over the summer, the Commission of Fine Arts appointed a new member to the Old Georgetown Board: Alan Brangman.
Brangman is not a new face to Georgetown. He served as the University Architect for Georgetown University from 1994 to 2010, overseeing some dramatic projects at the school, such as the Southwest Quad and the new business school building. He also oversaw some contentious projects like the Wormley School and the GU boathouse. In the face of opposition, the former was abandoned and the later has been endlessly delayed. This experience in knowing A. how things get done, and B. how things get blocked will serve Brangman well in his new role approving the design of such projects.
In addition to having a long career in the architecture and planning field, interestingly enough Brangman was once mayor of Falls Church. Continue reading
