I was thinking the other day that this blog is not dedicated to the Anacostia Boathouse, nor to the 11th Street Bridge project; I mistakenly implied this by the blog’s title. For the record, I am a rower and see the river daily from a unique vantage point. I row out of the Anacostia Community Boathouse as do hundreds of others, but do not represent it. My intention is to catalog, largely for historical purposes, the changes happening along the Anacostia Riverfront east of the 11th Street Bridge complex.
There are so many things envisioned for and in the works on both sides of the river in this area. I would hope that once many of these changes have been realized we will see the improvement to our community…and the river itself. I also want to capture the unique character of this area and long history. The best part about this personal undertaking is that it is not meant to dig into the mechanics of the change – the whys or whynots; moreover, it is to provide snapshots over time as change unfolds and we say hello to a renewed riverfront.
To better reflect the intent of my blog, I am changing not only the title of the blog, but also the address by which you find me out on the Web. I hope you enjoy the pictures my partner and I post. It’s been fun for the first couple of weeks. We intend to take more pictures and of other projects and changes in the area. I really enjoy seeing the transformation of this somewhat forgotten riverfront and I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks to all for reading and watching.
