Browne I Subject:Summary Report of Community Resources inthe Immediate Surrounding Area of Ft. Lincoln. F The following information was obtainedthrough the use of two community consultants I selected by the FLNT Council. Those resourcesfound to be in existence are located within the area bounded by Rhode IslandAvenue on the North, 18th Street on the West, and New York Avenue .J.11 the South.(Please see Map 2 attached.) In addition to resources within theabove area we have listed several important agencies, universities, and the likewhich are outside of the boundaries.This area is called North East. As uncertain asboundaries, zones, and school districts are, we felt it was necessaryto include some resources that arepresent in North East Washington. (Please see Map 3 attached.) The immediate surrounding area isapproximately four (4) square miles, whilethe North East area is approximately 11.11 squaremiles.(Please see Map 3 attached.) Specific information regarding resourceswill be found in the large resource summary chart. I have also included a few attachmentsthat should round out the effort.. They are: 1. A set of survey sheets that itemize thepertinent information needed by us. As was expected, very few resources existin the FLNT immediate area. 2.Two maps that indicate boundaries.Boundaries are broken down into the following categories. a.Site boundary b. Immediate surrounding area c.Larger surrrimding area d.North East boundary 5 page 2. 3. Explanatory section of an N. C. P. C. report on schools. 4. A list of possible program contractors for FLNT. 5.

A report on the upper North East. 10.A higtory of the Help For Retarded Children, Inc. General Description of Near North East Commercial - Industrial Complex Located along Pennsylvania Avenue and New York Avenue, warehouses are the main commercial enterprises. FLNT area is also a commercial area. Shaping Facilities and Commercial Recreation One shopping center is located in the 1300 block of Rhode Island Avenue and the other is located at Riggs Road and South Dakota Avenue. Numerous corner grocery stores exist. Area recreation consists of two "Adult Movie Houses", one bowling alley, and some taverns.Recreation for youth is virtually non-existent. Public Recreation and Parks A few centers operate and are ill attended by youth because of the lack of good programs. Parks exist as traditional areas without any imaginative utilization of resources.The National Arboretum is not a park, but is a substation of the Department of Agriculture and develops flowering shrubbery for commercial nurseries. Religious Groups_ The North East Group Ministry was established because of the needs of the community.It is now functioning as a force to help shape the FLNT planning effort and as a liaison agency with other groups and agencies.

    Vol 46 Businesses of Warren Michigan Area Through the Years

    Vol 46 Businesses of Warren Michigan Area through the Years The earliest known businesses were skilled hunters and skilled arrowhead makers who traded their services for other items. Next were the hair sellers. Both the French and British paid for furs and scalps. Animal pelts and human scalps were traded. Thousands of innocent persons were murdered. After the Americans got firm control this stopped. We then had rule of law rather than rule by brute force. Next ax men and chain men worked with the surveyors in 1817. Log cabin makers were rewarded with food and drink. Next came the sawmill operators. Soon store operators, brick makers, brewers and tavern keepers set up in good locations. Inn keeping was soon added as business minded people decided to profit from good locations. Sometimes hunters were paid usually by barter for being back fresh meat. Can't forget soldiers who secured the peace many of whom died in the process. Land speculation no doubt paid off. At least three names stand out. Mr Shubael Conant a Detroit merchant was a shrewd business man. The Government was selling swamp land for one half of the standard price of $2.50 per acre. He bought a lot of land in SW Warren.and resold them for great profit. The Groesbeck families who were the first buyers in Warren Township It seemed that at one time or another they owned many parcels of land all over Warren Township. And third was Walter Piper much later on in time who developed the Baseline and Van Dyke Areas.

    ANS Annual Report 2018

    i AUDUBON NATURALIST SOCIETY Annual Report: A Year In Review 2017-2018 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings! I’m Scott Fosler, President of the Audubon Naturalist Society Board of Directors. It’s my pleasure to share with you highlights of a remarkable year for ANS. Our Education Program served the largest number of campers and had the strongest revenue outcome for summer camp in ANS history. It helped 3,500 youngsters plant and grow organic salad greens in regional public schools (200 more students than last year). Our new chemistry curriculum on water quality and nitrate pollution was rolled out to high school teachers, thanks to support from the National Park Foundation. ANS staff helped produce our first parent guide to connect children with nature, and it was featured on NBC Washington News Channel 4. Registrations for adults to explore natural areas around Washington reached nearly 2,000. In Conservation Advocacy, ANS worked for greater transparency in stormwater management, and for a final stormwater funding compromise, during a fractious battle between the Montgomery County Council and Executive. Our Creek Critters program surpassed the 10,000-users mark. And we continued our valiant work along the Route 1 Corridor in Northern Virginia. We’ve earned the trust of residents by working with faith communities to educate, train and involve them in advocating for community-oriented green infrastructure solutions to redevelopment. Scott Fosler The new deer fence is now up and already helping native plant communities flourish in Woodend Nature ANS Board President Sanctuary. Restoration plantings included 217 new native shrubs and trees.

  • Suburbanization Historic Context and Survey Methodology

    Suburbanization Historic Context and Survey Methodology

    INTRODUCTION The geographical area for this project is Maryland’s 42-mile section of the I-95/I- 495 Capital Beltway. The historic context was developed for applicability in the broad area encompassed within the Beltway. The survey of historic resources was applied to a more limited corridor along I-495, where resources abutting the Beltway ranged from neighborhoods of simple Cape Cods to large-scale Colonial Revival neighborhoods. The process of preparing this Suburbanization Context consisted of: • conducting an initial reconnaissance survey to establish the extant resources in the project area; • developing a history of suburbanization, including a study of community design in the suburbs and building patterns within them; • defining and delineating anticipated suburban property types; • developing a framework for evaluating their significance; • proposing a survey methodology tailored to these property types; • and conducting a survey and National Register evaluation of resources within the limited corridor along I-495. The historic context was planned and executed according to the following goals: • to briefly cover the trends which influenced suburbanization throughout the United States and to illustrate examples which highlight the trends; • to present more detail in statewide trends, which focused on Baltimore as the primary area of earliest and typical suburban growth within the state; • and, to focus at a more detailed level on the local suburbanization development trends in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, particularly the Maryland counties of Montgomery and Prince George’s. Although related to transportation routes such as railroad lines, trolley lines, and highways and freeways, the location and layout of Washington’s suburbs were influenced by the special nature of the Capital city and its dependence on a growing bureaucracy and not the typical urban industrial base.
