Safeway Plans Major Redevelopment
Fresh off the opening of its new Georgetown store, Safeway is planning another major development right next door. They are planning on building a new building (seen above) on the small plot of land just south of the Safeway (between Jelleff and Wisconsin) that was a parking lot but is now just grass. In addition they plan to “re-skin” part of the next building down, which contains the Einstein Brothers’ Bagels and a pawn shop.

Introducing: Aren’t They Building…
GM gets asked all the time about various projects around Georgetown. The questions normally start off something like “aren’t they building a…”
Well, you may have noticed a new link at the top of the page here at the Georgetown Metropolitan that addresses these frequent inquires. Just click on “Aren’t They Building…” and you will find a list of all the potential projects that GM knows about with a link back to his article on the project. An official opening date is listed, if any is available. If no date is available (or the official date is obviously not going to happen) GM provides his own guess at when it’ll come.
If GM left anything out, let him know.
For posterity’s sake, here is the innaugural class of “Aren’t The Building…”: Continue reading

ANC Preview: Any Objections?
The ANC will meet for it’s June meeting next Tuesday at 6:30 at Visitation. Looking at the agenda, you’d think the entire meeting will be dominated by liquor license renewals. But GM predicts little time will actually be spent on those issues. So what will they be talking about?
EastBanc’s Plans for Fillmore
GM has covered this, but for those just catching up: EastBanc has agreed to purchase the historic Fillmore School building at 1801 35th St. from the Corcoran (the ANC agenda mistakenly calls this the “Corcoran School”, which is a little confusing to history nuts like GM who know that the historic school building at 1219 28th St. was called the Corcoran School.)
EastBanc plans on converting the building into 15 condos and wants to construct rowhouses on the parking lot (GM estimates they want to build 16-20). EastBanc will come to the ANC to present their plans. When they presented similarly ambitious plans for the post office, they received a pretty warm reception from the ANC and the public. GM doesn’t imagine it will be much different this time.
Streetcars
DDOT was asked to send a rep to last month’s ANC meeting to discuss their streetcar plans for Georgetown. Unfortunately nobody came. They are back on the agenda next week, so hopefully someone will come. Continue reading
