“I’m Going to Huff and Puff And Blow Your House Down!” It
looks like Mother Nature took its toll on Historic Anacostia last night. Driving
down MLK Ave SE this morning, I noticed the brick facades currently owned by
the District Government were scattered across the street. This blows!
This special neighborhood as already lost a ton of its
historic charm over the years and it just lost another three (3) historic building
facades. I guess I can’t blame the government for this one...even though I'm sure somebody at DHCD is smiling. Here’s hoping the
new administration will take some serious thought and care in the future of
this neighborhood and understand historic preservation is the key to keeping it
a special place and not just another place in the City.
