Starting a 19th St NW neighborhood list. In a way, it was refreshing *not* to have the contact info for my neighbors, sharing information in real-world chats in the alley or on the sidewalk. But email is helpful to share news, plan events and help each other out.
@UrbanCourtyard Here in Dupont, we have a project to deck over a tunnel, just north of the circle. It will create a new plaza and is part of a broader street redesign, great for businesses, residents and visitors alike. @DDOTDC is doing awesome work! https://t.co/vaAuObxJUi
People bemoaning the loss of community events like block parties, fairs, baseball, good old Americana — meanwhile on any given Saturday in Washington dc

New Record! @wmata Navy Yard 🚇 had 76K customers on Sat w/ Petalpalooza, @Nationals & @dcunited games, for the busiest ridership day EVER at that station even beating the Nats World Series run in 2019!
Plus we moved the @Capitals game & big zoo crowds. Metro moves our region!
Of nerdy urbanist interest: Next week the D.C. Council will cast a first vote on @BrianneKNadeau's bill to allow for new D.C. buildings up to six stories tall to have only a single stairwell in them, instead of the current two. Proponents say it creates more residential space.
@JHWeissmann We live just a few blocks away. It is a part of a great story for DC, and will be transformative for our little corner of Dupont. I hope they’ll have a good mix of unit sizes, including some larger 3-4 bedroom
