This was in January the year it opened and it was far from complete, though they did open the season on time. I remember hearing about the grand plans for that stretch along the river and I wondered how long it might take to see it come to pass. Your post is gratifying to read. <br /><br />Though I don't live there, I love DC and hope that area makes a full comeback in every sense of the word. I would love to see a real neighborhood spring up around the Navy Yard and stadium, though I'm sure, unless legislated otherwise, the rents will be prohibitive for any but the wealthiest tenants. <br /><br />One thing they 'should' do is to have a certain number of units set aside, in terms of price, for people who actually work in the area--especially police, firefighters, educators, etc. Do you know anything about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
