The first node is adjacent to a small area of commercial-light manufacturing low bulk by the Overview Anacostia Freeway. Across the freeway to the This submarket east of the Anacostia River runs along Pennsylvania Avenue, one of the District’s west of the three nodes, Pennsylvania Avenue signature boulevards with direct access to Capitol Hill, the Anacostia Freeway, and the Capitol continues as a commercial corridor. Fort Dupont and Fort Davis Parks snake their way through the Beltway. It is anchored by 3 major nodes: L’Enfant Square, Branch Avenue, and Alabama largely residential area as a government-zoned Avenue. These nodes, which vary greatly in character, offer pockets of retail that serve the property. surrounding residences. Pedestrian access to this retail, as well as other community amenities such as parks, is currently limited because of Pennsylvania Avenue’s auto-oriented nature. Retail Opportunity 1 L’Enfant Square This node is overwhelmingly defined by the Anacostia Freeway. While proximity to the highway is an asset in many ways, it also makes this area unsuited for retail (other than existing highway-oriented NODE 3 retail like gas stations) at present.

Its vast parkland suggests that the area is suited more to residential than commercial expansion; however, there is room for retail development across from Fort Davis Park. Retail Node 1: L’Enfant Square This “L’Enfant Square” node can be divided into 3 sub-nodes: The Anacostia Freeway, Marginal Retail, and Residences. A - The Anacostia Freeway necessitates this node’s Anacostia Freeway overwhelming infrastructure. At its widest, Pennsylvania Avenue has 10 lanes of traffic surrounded by land with a significant grade change. This infrastructure limits the potential for any building, including retail development. A B B - Marginal Retail in poor condition lines both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue, although it appears to be single-loaded because of the street’s width and median. The southern side dominates with denser retail and a small strip mall. In general, retail here is redundant, with an over-representation of gas C stations and liquor stores. L’Enfant Square itself is inactive because it is bisected by cars and not utilized by residents. = Major Intersection C - Residences characterize this quieter section. Although = Minor Intersection residential lots have the most depth here, there is minimal retail; however, a large triangular lot between Minnesota = Sub-node A = Sub-node B Ave and 27th Street has potential to become a local anchor. = Sub-node C To the east, civic buildings mark the submarket’s residential beginning and transition to a smaller, 5-lane-total street. Retail Node 2: Branch Avenue The Branch Avenue node contains 3 sub-nodes: Residences, Penn Branch Shopping Center, and Other Retail. A - Residences bookend the Branch Avenue node. Single- ast the family homes in excellent condition line the woodsy area west ou of Branch Avenue, and a large mosque occupies the northwest t S e corner of this intersection. The easternmost section of this e tr node has 3- to 4-story apartment buildings. S r e t A n e B p r a C B - Penn Branch Shopping Center, a 90,000sf local-tenant strip mall with a Municipal Services Center in the rear, has the most critical mass of any retail offering in this submarket. Its C expansive surface parking, subprime tenants, and outdated facade/structure make it suited to major redevelopment. The A adjacent laundromat lot has potential to be a more substantial neighborhood offering with its prime location next to Penn Branch and opposite other retail (see below). However, the dramatic grade change of this site is a challenging constraint. = Minor Intersection = Neighborhood Intersection C - Other Retail across from Penn Branch includes a small strip = Sub-node A mall and gas station. This strip mall has less critical mass than = Sub-node B Penn Branch (it abuts a church and apartment), making it suited = Sub-node C to its current inventory of neighborhood retail and offices. Retail Node 3: Alabama Avenue The Alabama Avenue node contains 3 sub-nodes: Fort Davis = Minor Intersection Park, Fort Davis Center, and Fairfax Village Shopping Center. = Neighborhood Intersection = Sub-node A = Sub-node B = Sub-node C A - Fort Davis Park enhances the residential feel of this node of Pennsylvania Avenue. Parkland occupies the area west of Alabama Avenue; single-family homes and apartments occupy the east side across the park (north of Fort Davis Center). A B - Fort Davis Center is a small strip mall across Alabama Avenue from Fort Davis Park. It has good depth and is well- B positioned, with good visibility and access. These qualities give it more potential than the Fairfax Village Shopping Center (see below) to be redeveloped into a more significant community offering if the demand for retail increases. C C - Fairfax Village Shopping Center is a small strip mall directly off Pennsylvania Avenue. Its context makes its scale and merchandising appropriate–tenants here include a post office, Papa John’s, Fairfax Cleaners, Checks Cashed, and Potomac Seafood; limited depth due to adjacent mid-rise apartments makes it unlikely to expand. Efforts should be focused on improving parking (perhaps additional space could be added below grade or at the rear), as well as ensuring that it is used by customers rather than commuters.

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could.

  • Where to Go Camping
    There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program.

Eighty-four percent of participants rated the meeting as “excellent” or “good” (49 percent rating it as “excellent”.) Ninety-one percent of participants rated the use of technology at the Town Meeting as “excellent” or “good” (82 percent rating it as “excellent).
