What a gorgeous morning. A morning perfect for taking photos. Perfect for taking photos along the Anacostia riverfront. At
a park that's less than two weeks from opening. And so here's
a gallery of Yards Park photos, with construction work still very much in evidence but with the site looking in pretty good shape. At more than 5.5 acres, there's a lot of park to photograph, so I left a lot of good shots on the cutting room floor, but hopefully this gallery will give you a good idea of what you'll see when the park has its
Grand Opening Weekend Sept. 10-12.
One other piece of news to pass along--I was told today that it's expected that work will begin on the
Boilermaker Shops rehab by the end of this year. As with the
Foundry Lofts (which is getting restarted now), work on that much-anticipated retail space will take a year or so. (If you need a Yards primer,
see my project page.)
