On September 29, the WalkingTown DC Fall Edition, presented by Cultural Tourism DC, will offer 45 free walking tours in neighborhoods all across the city, and one of them is in Near Southeast. (Pardon me, "Capitol Riverfront." Bah.) Here's the description: "Between the Anacostia River and the US Capitol Building, alongside construction of the Nationals' ballpark, a new cityscape is emerging based on a unique nautical history: the Capitol Riverfront. Explore the industrial buildings of the Yards where the Navy once produced ships' instruments and ammunition. Move on to the Washington Canal and the new environmentally sustainable Canal Park, then visit the historic Pump Station that previously supplied power to the Capitol. End the tour with a boat ride along the river." It will be led by Michael Stevens, executive director of the Capitol Riverfront Business Improvement District. The tour starts at 10:30 am at the Navy Yard Metro station entrance at New Jersey and M. There's also tours of Poplar Point, the Southwest Waterfront, Barracks Row, Capitol Hill, etc. etc.; the list of tours is on the WalkingTown DC web site, and here's a press release with additional information.

On Tuesday night, ANC 6B gave its support for a planned 12-unit five-story condo project to be built on the vacant lot at 1006 7th Street (between K and L, across from the Marine Bachelor Enlisted Quarters). All the units will be two bedroom/two bath, and there will be six parking spaces on the site as well. The ground floor has about 650 sq ft of commercial space, though it's not yet decided whether it will be retail or office space. The architect was kind enough to pass along the very early technical drawings, which I've now posted. There's still a lot of bureaucracy for this project to wade through, including its Historic Preservation Review Board hearing on Sept. 27, as well as the vaunted DC building permit process. But they hope to break ground quickly after all the ducks have been put in a row.
(You can see the change that has already come to the rowhouses next to the lot if you scroll a bit down my 8th Street page.)

The Post's Courtland Milloy joins the legions of area residents thinking "Wouldn't it be nice to get to the stadium by water taxi?" As I've written in the past, various AWC-related documents have mentioned the desire to build a water taxi or ferry pier at the foot of First Street, at what will be Diamond Teague Park (next to the old Capitol Pumphouse), but no word has been made public on the current status of these plans.

If you're looking for the big project directory on the home page, I've moved it to make it both more and less prominent at the same time--you'll now see the tabs for Residential, Office, Recreation/Retail/Hotel, and Infrastructure right near the top of the page, just above the map of Near Southeast. Click the tabs, and the lists of completed, under construction, and in-the-pipeline projects will appear. I thought it was better to have these displayed with the map, rather than further down the page, since it's just a different way of displaying the information that's on the map.
