Have You Seen This Man?
This creepy looking fellow is convicted child sex offender Christopher Preston. The U.S. Marshalls Fugitive Task Force is searching for him. He is required to register with Prince Georges County but in 2003 he moved without telling the authorities. He’s been seen around Georgetown.
According to the Examiner, Preston is “5 feet 10 inches tall and 140 pounds. He has tattoos on his neck and left arm, and is known to have piercings on his left ear and nose. He has dyed his hair from brown to blond in the past.”
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service at 301-489-1717 or 800-336-0102. Law enforcement is offering a reward for information leading to his arrest.

ANC July Preview
ANC2E meets next Monday for the July meeting (despite the fact that it will still be technically what most people call “June”). What’s in store for the last ANC meeting before September? We’ve got liquor, a Piccolo, and some Swedes. Who would want to miss out in that fun?

OGB Applications Suggest Uptick in Activity
While GM was digging into the minutes of the Old Georgetown Board the other day, he started charting the board’s activity over the last several years. When you gather that data, it gives a picture of how commercial and residential construction has fluctuated over that time period. Plotting it all out shows that this activity hit bottom this winter but has shown a strong rebound through this spring. More on this and other interesting information after the jump:
