The Georgetown Metropolitan Enters its Terrible Twos

Two years ago today, the Georgetown Metropolitan began its web publication (171 years after its print publication ceased). This week, to celebrate entering its Terrible Twos, the Georgetown Metropolitan will look back on the five most popular news articles from last year. Because growing up means learning from the past, right?

Today, the fifth most popular post from last year: “Mark Ein is a Terrible Steward of the Beall-Washington House

This post was inspired primarily by the fact that during the aftermath of Snowmageddon, the sidewalks outside the Beall-Washington house (Katherine Graham’s old house at 30th and R) weren’t cleared.

Support CAG’s Public Safety Program

For several years, the Citizens Association of Georgetown has run a public safety program that supplements MPD’s normal coverage. It does this by hiring Securitas to patrol the neighborhood and by paying for a reimbursable detail from MPD (where normal MPD officers are paid overtime to work extra hours).

This doesn’t come cheap though. To maintain this program, CAG needs to solicit donations every year. Right now they’re in the middle of one of their fundraisers. So give what you can to support this worthwhile program.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

  • Did the Apple Store increase crime?
