FRIDAY UPDATE: The trash garage at 1st and O is now completely gone; so is the third of the four buildings on the north side of O (leaving only the four-story building that was home to Heat). The buildings along Half between O and N remain, however--they're probably on next week's agenda. (No new pictures, I'm trying to pace myself a bit.) Even better news--during the 30 minutes I spent walking around the ballpark site, the prices at the Half and M Sunoco dropped from $3.19 to $3.11. (No, I'm not taking credit.)

Note that there is a Anacostia Waterfront Corporation Public Board Meeting tonight at 6 pm, at 1901 Mississippi Ave., SE. Remember to check my Neighborhood Events Calendar (down the home page a bit on the right side) to keep up with public meetings, hearings, and events.
