4/14/08: From an
email: "On Sunday, April 13, Chief Lanier reassigned me from
Commander of the Second District to the position of Field
Commander. This move will entail me being more directly involved
with patrol police work across the city. I was assigned to the
Second District as your commander on April 7, 2006, and in the
past two years the support and encouragement you have given to
our officers here at 2D has been tremendous. You have often, in
person, on email, in letters and cards and in the media,
provided praise for an outstanding group of officers who serve
you selflessly and without expectation of reward beyond that
service." Andy Solberg

The city has reserved 50 curbside or private parking spaces for
these two companies to offer cars. Glover Park's two

8/27/05: There is
a lot of talk in the media about a slowdown in the real estate
market in many parts of the nation. We are seeing it here
in DC as well. The market is still strong, but we are no
longer in the frenzy that we saw up until late spring of 2005.
Some sellers listing at those frenzied price levels are seeing
their properties sit until the price comes down a bit. You might remember the
downturn in the early 90's following the late 80's frenzy.
Many condos and houses would sit on the market for a year or
more. We're not heading there quite yet, but sellers
should at least consider the potential slowdown as a risk
factor.
8/26/05: I've
heard reports that the food is good at the Town Hall restaurant
- I haven't been there yet but I will get in soon!
