The entries are notes, letters, hand-drawn maps, and genealogical information from the early 1900s. One excerpt from a letter dated July 22, 1907 reads: (more…)

Thanks to DBL for sending:
“Some retail news from Trinidad, Montello Market is making steady progress towards opening in the former Jabbo’s Compack Market space at 1613 Montello Avenue NE (Closed Late Summer 2025)
The building facade is now yellow and they retained the two Christopher Lynch murals and original Jabbo’s signage along Holbrook Terrace NW.
A gentleman inside said they were aiming to be open by December 1st, 2025 at the latest, likely sooner though.”

“DC Water Unveils Pure Water DC: A Bold Vision to Strengthen Resilience and Secure a Second Source of Water
DC Water announced the launch of Pure Water DC, a groundbreaking program designed to strengthen the District’s water supply resilience and secure a second source of drinking water for the nation’s capital. This effort comes in response to growing risks posed by reliance on a single water source—the Potomac River—and the Washington Aqueduct, which currently supplies 100% of DC Water’s drinking water.
“Any disruption to the Potomac River or the Aqueduct would have catastrophic consequences—not just for Washington, DC, but for the entire region,” said David L. Gadis, CEO and General Manager of DC Water. “Pure Water DC is planning ahead, investing wisely, and ensuring that our customers, our economy, and our national security are protected. This is not optional—it’s essential.”
To kick off this initiative, DC Water convened a panel discussion along with industry experts, utilities, and federal and state regulators from across the region. The panel explored practical ways to make our water supply more resilient, including advanced water reuse —a growing solution nationwide to address vulnerabilities in the water supply. This method relies on advanced treatment processes to purify water to drinking standards so it can be safely recycled for various purposes.
“Last year’s close call exposed a critical vulnerability, when we came within 30 minutes of exhausting our water supply on the eve of Independence Day —a near crisis that affected nearly a million residents and visitors,” said Dr. Unique Morris-Hughes, Chair of DC Water’s Board of Directors. “We cannot allow that to happen again. Pure Water DC is our answer to ensure water resilience.”
The Pure Water DC strategy lays out a portfolio of solutions to address this vulnerability, including: (more…)
