In fact, DC is so connected to the waterfront its often called "the Venice of America".<br /><br />Thank you.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295461340042242438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-20816241933531892562010-07-15T17:04:51.678-04:002010-07-15T17:04:51.678-04:00"DC's Capitol Riverfront neighborhood ......"DC's Capitol Riverfront neighborhood ... remains the only neighborhood with a riverfront presence"<br /><br />"Ahem" says this resident of Southwest! It will be nicer after whatever big redevelopment that's planned gets going, but currently you can eat dinner on a deck over the water at Cantina Marina, go play on the water with the community sailing association, live on the water at the gangplank marina, eat dinner overloooking it at Jenny's, hang out in the park along it, which is the unofficial doggie play area, further over towards N and O streets. Even if you don't want to count the giganto club/tourist conglomerates of Phillips, Zanzibar and the cruise ships (which I agree don't really do anything for residents), there's plenty of life along there on a summer evening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-71725324115591475682010-07-15T13:55:08.920-04:002010-07-15T13:55:08.920-04:00yeah, so anyway...it'll be a great project, an...yeah, so anyway...it'll be a great project, and a welcome significant public space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-18119018962385840582010-07-15T07:14:32.810-04:002010-07-15T07:14:32.810-04:00ken: i think you're wiggling a bit here, but t...<b>ken</b>: i think you're wiggling a bit here, but that's ok.<br /><br />you didn't make it clear what you meant by "presence" in the original article. now you've said "commercial waterfront presence." that's a lot more specific, and i'll give you that river terrace doesn't have a commercial presence on the water. had you given that qualifier in the first place, your phrasing would have made more sense.IMGophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389077782536090328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-63147310778172824912010-07-15T06:22:25.400-04:002010-07-15T06:22:25.400-04:00Deanwoodian: I'm confused, having not mention...Deanwoodian: I'm confused, having not mentioned Anacostia. If you think River Terrace has a vibrant waterfront, fine, but I see nothing but parkland there. Sure, lots of neighborhoods touch the river, I'll give you that, but I was talking about neighborhoods that have a commercial waterfront presence.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295461340042242438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-90934510710260591902010-07-14T21:31:15.823-04:002010-07-14T21:31:15.823-04:00Ken, IMGoph said River Terrace NOT Anacostia.

I considered Georgetown, which I more than occasionally frequent, but Georgetown Harbor is a bit removed from Georgetown proper. Sure, you could argue both ways, and I'll defer to those who disagree. But until recently there was just an immense parking lot along the water, I always felt little connection to the water there, you have to tread over private property to get to it. Southeast has a ways to go yet, but the potential is there, and work to connect to it is pretty serious.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295461340042242438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-7715086633442277412010-07-14T16:40:10.691-04:002010-07-14T16:40:10.691-04:00can you explain what you mean by "the only ne...can you explain what you mean by "the only neighborhood with a riverfront presence"?<br /><br />i think it would be very safe to argue that river terrace and georgetown are both DC neighborhoods with a riverfront presence as well.IMGophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389077782536090328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-51188815037278066622010-07-14T14:34:19.780-04:002010-07-14T14:34:19.780-04:00this is going to be an amazing place when its done...this is going to be an amazing place when its done.
