Georgetown Halloween by ChristyFrink.
Georgetown has long been a destination for hoards of Halloween revelers. This used to lead to general chaos on M St. Over the years, though, the city has come up with a pretty decent plan for handling the huge crowds.
Georgetown used to shut down M St. to traffic. It made it a lot more fun to be down on M St. and allowed for better people watching. The problem with that system was that it pushed a lot more traffic into the side streets. Since Georgetown is popular for kids from all over the city to hit up for candy, there was a particular concern about the increased (and possibly drunk) traffic.
The solution was to keep traffic open on M St. and to restrict it on the side streets. While this makes M St. a lot more annoying to visit, it’s probably safer overall.
The list of road closures is long. Basically just about every road not called Wisconsin or M is closed to through traffic from 6:30 Saturday through the night. In the East Village, the only open roads will be 31st and Q. In the West Village its P and 35th that will remain somewhat open. Plus there’s no parking on most of M, Wisconsin, and K/Water St. Continue reading

Don’t forget that today is the last Rose Park Farmers Market for the season. Better yet, they’ll be celebrating the annual childrens’ Boo-in-the-Park. Costumes are optional, however there’ll be a parade and awards for the best costume. Unfortunately there won’t be any actual pumpkins due to this year’s shortage, but there’ll be cookies and snacks.
So if your kiddies are too excited to wait till Saturday to try out their costume, bring them by Rose Park from 4 to 6.

GM just noticed that Georgetown’s got a new blog. It’s called Georgetown Week, and it appears to be a production of the Georgetowner’s David Roffman.
It appears that Georgetown Week has been published since mid September. From the opening post the blog sets forth its ambition. It will publish a newsletter twice a week, on Monday and Thursday. From the first month or so, it seems that the site is focused on publicizing events around town with a few news items in between. The site also seems to be interested in developing microcurrencies.
GM is glad to have the company. He’s never been very good at keeping much of an event calender for the neighborhood, so Georgetown Week is a welcome addition.
Plus Georgetown Week even has a Twitter feed!
Welcome to the neighborhood blogosphere Georgetown Week.
