From the Mayor’s Office:

“The District of Columbia (District), Georgetown University, and the National Park Service announced an agreement regarding the development of property along the Georgetown Waterfront that will complete a decades long effort to realize expanded non-motorized boating activities along the Potomac River in Georgetown, as well as the construction of a Georgetown University Boathouse.

Under the terms of the agreement, Georgetown will donate a parcel of land on the Potomac River to the National Park Service to be added to the boundary of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. This parcel includes an easement along the Capital Crescent Trail, which would be extinguished when the land is donated. This will allow for uninterrupted use of the trail by the public. (more…)

Speaking of Getting Towed – Street Closures, Airport Info, Maps and more about Saturday’s Military Parade

By Prince Of Petworth

From MPD:

“Increased local security measures will be in place in the days leading up to, during, and immediately following the Army’s 250th Birthday Parade on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

The Army’s 250th Birthday Parade is designated a National Special Security Event by the Department of Homeland Security, a designation that is based in part on the event’s significance, size and attendees. Designating an event an NSSE allows for significant resources from the federal government, as well as state and local partners, to be used to ensure a robust security plan is in place.

This page will provide public safety information, road closures, and restrictions related to this event.

For information about the US Army’s 250th celebration, please visit their website.

Today* in Hawks*** around Town

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to Heidi for sending this super cool shot: “Spied this guy (gal?) from my workstation downtown. There are two hawks who hang around the office building. Having a decent view, and watching the hawks, are two good things about being forced to return to the office full-time (there are more bad things than good things).”

If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
