Stuff to do

1. Tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday is the Washington Historical Studies conference. Some (but not many) of the sessions look interesting (to me).

2. On Saturday there is the Anacostia Waterfront Fair, which is supposed to discuss all the various projects going on along the river there.

Representatives from District government agencies, community-based organizations, and developers will share information about waterfront construction projects, plans for new parks, green jobs and many other improvements.

(Relatedly is John Wennersten's new book, Anacostia: Death and Life of An American River. Read this excerpt.)

3. I intend to go to a neighborhood organization training institute in Baltimore on Saturday (because I want the Citizens Planning Coalition to start doing this in DC starting next year) or something else on the Eastern Shore...

4. Next Wednesday is the last DC Department of Transportation presentation on the Transportation Plan (although written comments can be submitted until 11/20/2008).
