The city's
building permits feed hasn't been working with perfection of late, so I'm only now seeing some recent permits of interest:

* As many folks have seen (and as I
Twittered last week), the asphalt is being pulled up on the southern end of
Canal Park (here's
a photo from last Friday, taken at Second and M). Two building permits have been approved for the southern two blocks, allowing for "interior cleaning [...] to remove pavement import top soil and plant grass." Hopefully the northern block will get a makeover too.
(UPDATE: Commenter Scott says that work on the northern block is already underway.)
* Monument Realty has gotten a six-month extension on the raze permit for the Domino's at
South Capitol and M. And, though it's outside my redrawn boundaries, I'll mention that
1244 South Capitol (home to the stalled Camden Development apartment building) got a final six-month extension on a raze permit for that site. (Though I was bummed to see on Opening Night at the ballpark that the little red brick building that had been left standing for so long
was finally gone.)
* A final (belated) reminder that the latest
Anacostia Waterfront Forum is tonight at 6:30 pm at the MLK Library. The topic is "Waterfronts and the World's Great Capital Cities," with office of planning director Harriet Tregoning.
* The Post wrote a piece in the Sunday Business Section
about Bo Blair, the Georgetown Events "restaurateur / entrepeneur." Fun fact: he's paying $25,000 a month in rent for the space on
Akridge's land at
Half and N.
