Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Public Dump, Fort Totten


Public Dump, Fort Totten

Everyone needs to check this out at least once. In fact, I think there should be tours of it during the next Walking Town DC event.

The interior dump reminds me of the underground scenes from the future in the movie "Terminator." Pretty dark, scary. The big construction earth movers organizing the trash are an experience.
