Georgetown to Get Yet Another Circulator?
From GGW and DCist, GM learned yesterday that DDOT is considering adding several new Circulator lines. Included amongst them is a possible third route through Georgetown.
DDOT held a recent public meeting to unveil their long term plans for the Circulator. They are proposing some pretty ambitious expansions (some of which could simply be placeholders for an eventual streetcar line). Here’s a map of the corridors they identified (c/o DCist):

Vikings Invade Georgetown
GM noticed a new ad on TV the other day for Capital One, whose purchase of Chevy Chase Bank was finalized this summer. It featured one of those vikings standing in front of the bank’s branch at Q and Wisconsin (it’s not clear if it’s green screened or not, but GM would guess it wasn’t).
Of course this isn’t the first time Capital One/Chevy Chase Bank featured Georgetown, as you may remember those goofy Ben Franklin ads (shot from the roof of Mie N Yu): Continue reading

Tudor Place Sent Back to the Drawing Board
Last Thursday, Tudor Place came before the Old Georgetown Board to seek approval for the concept of its proposed master construction plan. As you may remember, Tudor Place went before the ANC and the OGB in October.
In short: A group of some of the neighbors is objecting to Tudor Place’s plans as they are currently drafted. Some 32nd St. neighbors are particularly concerned about the proposed addition to the garage on the west side of the property. They have suggested Tudor Place dramatically scale back their plans. Tudor Place responds that they have taken many of the neighbors’ suggestions and the plan represents a compromise between the neighbors’ concerns and Tudor Place’s needs.
The ANC essentially took no side and merely expressed a desire for the discussion to continue. The OGB, on the other hand, deferred a decision to embark on a site visit. Having performed a site visit between its October and November meetings, the OGB was prepared to pass judgment last week, and it wasn’t what Tudor Place was hoping for.
The OGB essentially told Tudor Place to go completely back to the drawing board. Here’s specifically what they found: Continue reading

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- We might all have to pony up some dough if we ever want to see the waterfront completed.
- It seems to be that time of the year when all those stores of Wisconsin Ave. start having those fake “going out of business” sales. As far as GM knows, only Commander Salamander is actually going out of business. Although last year Hardwear actually went out of business after throwing a going out of business sale, so who knows.
