“Historic Congressional Cemetery has achieved Level I Arboretum Accreditation through ArbNet, formally recognizing its commitment to tree stewardship, biodiversity, conservation, and public engagement. At the heart of the initiative is Congressional Cemetery’s signature Tree Walk, which invites visitors to explore more than 25 species in Washington’s Hill East neighborhood—an urban green space where history, nature, and community intersect.
The arboretum designation builds on a tradition that dates to the cemetery’s earliest days. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
The Streets Market at 15th and Pennsylvania is open now. We were in last night and the checkout people were lamenting that the traffic has been a little slow, so far, so sending this in hopes of getting them a bit more publicity.
