I'm well aware that the home page of this site is a bit, well, dense. There's a lot of information on Near Southeast to get across, and it's not easy to do it in such confined quarters. I'm not sure whether this really helps or not, but I've made the main map a bit showier--now, as you move your cursor, you'll see at top brief summaries of the various projects, and a small (very small) illustration at the top right. (I'm using photos if the development is well on its way, architect renderings if a project is on the boards or just started, and icky photos of what a lot currently looks like if I can't get the developers to hand over any drawings.) Start moving your cursor around, and see what happens.

A correspondent reports that the long-shuttered row homes in the 900 block of New Jersey Avenue started being demolished today. That block will eventually be the site of a 238-unit residential tower by JPI--everything currently on the block except the car repair shop at the corner of 1st and K will be demolished to make way for the construction, although there's still a few months before the Nexus Gold Club will close (I don't know an exact date), so get your ogling of naked chicks in sooner rather than later. You can see "before" photos of the houses being demolished on my JPI Residential Projects page (toward the bottom, so do some scrolling)--I'll add demolition photos as soon as the sun moves to an optimum position.
