14th St and Jefferson Drive, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I am sending this hoping that someone/anyone can do something at the corner of 14th St and Jefferson Dr. NW. There are food trucks that have been blocking the crosswalks and eliminating visibility for EVERYONE for more than a year and our authorities have given up and decided to let the trucks run wild. Not sure if it was the NPS or DC gov that installed horrible fences last year hoping the trucks would no longer park there because of the visibility problems. The trucks do not care and just moved and now block the sidewalks eliminating all visibility. (more…)
Thanks to Chris for sending the update: “The cleaning is complete, the process to refill it is underway.” (more…)

It always boggles my mind how many things I have overlooked in this city. I think I’ve walked past this gatehouse hundreds of times located at 15th and Constitution (another is located at 17th and Constitution). It has a neat history:

It was saved last year but NBC Washington is reporting that it needs to be saved again:
“Rauch tells us that HBO — which has traditionally backed the movie event — hasn’t yet determined its 2010 budget. “Hence, our renewed effort to demonstrate how strongly the community supports and loves SOTG,” Rauch told us in an e-mail today.”
