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.

On the H Street alley tour

Last Sunday, as part of CulturalTourismDC's Fall WalkingTown tours, I led a tour of alleys around H Street NE, east of the Union Station railyard. There were between 40 and 50 people and it was a great group. The tour is a combination tour of the neighborhood as well as alleys, although it doesn't cover the neighborhood exhaustively. A group of us finished with a late brunch at Argonaut.

Flickr photographer chelt was on the tour and he graciously offers us his photos. If you click through on this one, you'll have access to his set of photos from the tour.
