“Dear PoPville,
The Rock Creek Tennis bubble (run by Guest Services) has been having its issues this year with the heat getting knocked out for several weeks and then the bubble came down because of snow. It’s operational now but I wonder how safe it is. Came across the jerry-rigged system for what I assume is for heat. One cigarette flicked and who the hell knows? Anyone know who certifies a subcontractor and their work on NPS land?”
UPDATE: “The designated propane storage area is a temporary setup that complies with safety regulations. Storing propane indoors is not permitted, which is why it has been placed outside, as indicated by the posted warning signs and fencing around the area. (more…)

“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) celebrated the early morning Senate passage of her bill with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) to transfer administrative jurisdiction over the RFK Stadium campus from the federal government to D.C. for up to 99 years. The bill is now headed to the president’s desk to be signed into law.
The RFK Stadium bill clears the way for D.C. to use the land where the crumbling old stadium sits for redevelopment, commercial and residential development, or other public purposes. Norton has worked on prior versions of the bill aimed at revitalizing the RFK Stadium campus, which, at 174 acres, is the largest unused tract of land in the District, since 2017.
