The Oct. 13
Voice of the Hill (
PDF here) has pieces on two Near Southeast items: the cleanup of the
Virginia Avenue Park at 9th and Virginia in the
East End (on page 4), and an item (page 14) on the vacant
Washington Star/Washington Post building at 3rd and Virginia, and the
Washington Canal Park project just to the plant's south. (Scroll to the bottom of my
Canal Park page, and you can see rough drawings of how the building could look after a conversion to office or mixed-use.) The article mentions a target date of 2007 or 2008 for Canal Park, which is a pretty fair delay from the original 2006 completion timeline. You can also look at my
Capper/Carrollsburg page for more information about the housing that will be going up around the park.
