History
The following was written by Rebecca Miller, Executive Director, DC Preservation League and member of the Coalition to Save the Trestle!
Washington, DC, has an unparalleled opportunity to hit the Trifecta — save an iconic structure from demolition, create a badly-needed walking and bicycling connection on the west side of Georgetown, and provide a much needed alternative to one of the most dangerous and unpleasant sidewalks in the city.
This opportunity is the rehabilitation of the Foundry Branch Trolley Trestle, a vestige from the days when trolleys transported Washingtonians across the city, and on this particular line, through the Palisades to the famous amusement park in Glen Echo, Maryland. The trolley no longer runs, but the Trestle is hanging on—by a political thread. This is the moment to save it. (more…)

HFStival 2004 photo by Molly Marshall
From Wikipedia:
“The HFStival was an annual Washington, D.C. / Baltimore rock festival. Held every summer from 1990 through 2006 by radio station WHFS, and held again in 2010 and 2011 in commemoration of the now-defunct station’s legacy, the HFStival was at its peak the largest yearly music festival on the East Coast, drawing 55,000 to 90,000 people. It was held at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C. from 1993 to 2004, after which the station moved it to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.”
STAY TUNED.

Thanks to Cassie for sending: “Ancient technology sighting in on Calvert St. in AdMo. I wonder how many people walked by and had no clue what this is. Sadly I’m old enough to remember toiling over one of these in my first office job.”
If you have a photo of a neat find from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.

Super sad news out of Catania Bakery over the winter. Thanks to Eric for sharing from their FB:
“Sadly, we must let you all know that we lost a great lady on Saturday, February 3rd. Nicole is now with her beloved Tony, and our other family who went before her. We love and miss her more than words can say.”
I had the pleasure of meeting with Nicole back in 2011, and she couldn’t have been kinder. (more…)
