  • 2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider
    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

  • Restore Mass Ave Tree Plaza Press Release
    Re-greening Embassy Row restoremassave.org RESTORE MASS AVE PROPOSES TREE PLAZA BY PNC BANK ON DUPONT CIRCLE Nonprofit unveils plan for shaded space at city’s most popular Capital Bikeshare station EMBARGOED until November 20, 9 am 2015 | Download pdf RMA Contact: Carole Feld [email protected] | 202-415-2669 | More at restoremassave.org/dupont-tree-plaza/ WASHINGTON DC (November 20, 2015) Today Restore Mass Ave (RMA), a nonprofit working to restore the historic tree canopy and landscape of Embassy Row, released its Tree Plaza Concept Plan. The plan envisions how the barren city sidewalk on Massachusetts Avenue by the PNC Bank Dupont Circle branch can be planted with nine new shade trees. Now the 7,100-square-foot sidewalk area at 1913 Massachusetts Avenue NW, in the heart of the Dupont Circle neighborhood, encompasses a bank entrance and ATM, a future entrance of the Dupont Underground, the city’s busiest Capital Bikeshare station — and just two struggling trees. LEFT: Proposed Tree Plaza looking east. RMA sign is at far left. Leo A Daly/Restore Mass Ave RMA has been planting and arranging care for trees west from 20th Street along Massachusetts Avenue NW to Wisconsin Avenue NW since 2006. To complete its re-greening of Embassy Row, the group now proposes that the current heat island by the bank be transformed into a shaded, inviting community space. The pervious area would quadruple from 4 to 16 percent thanks to the additional tree boxes and the enlarged lawn near the bank’s parking lot. The plaza area and proposed new tree sites are entirely on city land.
