This is from a couple months ago, but GM just saw it. It’s a profile by Washington Business Journal of Four Seasons’ $12,500 a night Royal Suite. Are you “the kind of guest” that would buy this room?

Tudor Place to Add Yoga
Do you like yoga? Do you like late 18th century manors? If you said yes to both those questions then Tudor Place has something perfect for you: Every Friday morning starting in August there will be a yoga session held in the gardens. It’s a beautiful setting, and GM has often wondered what it would be like to take in the scenery with his leg wrapped around neck. If you rsvp on time, and you’re flexible, you can live his dream.
(psst: Dumbarton Oaks, this is yet another example of how Tudor Place makes itself a good neighbor while you keep your gates locked up.)

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- Georgetown student reportedly raped in her house two blocks from campus
- Georgetown’s Sweet Green lost to Dupont’s Tangy Sweet in an NBC poll. Unlike the “people watching” poll (also against Dupont), Georgetown at least made this one close.
- WMATA is taking another look at the changes to the 30s series it made last year. You have a chance to chime in during two meetings.

A Pity Upon A Hill
On a hill overlooking Georgetown sits a shameful display of neglect on the part of Georgetown University: Holy Rood Cemetery. Built by Georgetown’s Holy Trinity Church in 1832, the cemetery has a strong connection to the neighborhood’s history. It is the final resting place of generations of Georgetown’s German and Irish Catholics as well as up to 1000 slaves and free Black residents.
And today it is a mess.
Grave stones are toppled left and right. Weeds grow through the cracks. The overall feeling you get visiting it is that it has been abandoned. Check it out:
