Old Georgetown in Color
Today GM is going to try out a possible new feature for the Georgetown Metropolitan: Old Georgetown in Color.
Inspired by other websites that take old black and white photos and colorize them (most notable for local interests being Old Time DC) GM decided to take a shot. His first attempt is of one of his favorite photos from old Georgetown, that of two adorable girls that Carl Mydans came across one day.
Here’s the original from the Library of Congress:
Not a bad first try, eh?

Chance to Watch Bayou Documentary this Friday (Maybe)
As mentioned here last year, a labor of love by local film maker Dave Lilling has produced a documentary on the late great Bayou night club that once graced Georgetown’s K St. (Watch the trailer above). This Friday, the full documentary will be offered to PBS stations to play at 2:00 pm.
The film’s website indicates that 20 stations have committed to showing the documentary. Unfortunately it doesn’t say if any in the DC-area are among that. If GM finds out before Friday (or if he finds out an alternative way of watching it) he’ll let you know.

Parking Task Force Meeting Next Tuesday
GM’s packing up for the long weekend, but he wanted to let you know about an important meeting next week to discuss parking changes.
As you may recall, back in January, DDOT held a lively meeting to gather ideas from the community on what changes could be made to the way public space parking is managed in Georgetown. They’ve taken those ideas, and discussed them with a group that was formed to consider the ideas. Now they’re ready to present back to the community what some of the options could be.
So come on out to hear what changes could possibly come. It’s at 6:30 pm at St. John’s church on O St. across from Hyde.
