"GALLERY 2.0"
DDOT EXPANDS ONLINE HISTORIC PHOTO GALLERY

Images Trace History of City Streets and Capture Life in Motion

(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT)
today announced it has expanded its online historic photo gallery on
the DDOT Web site, creating a unique journey through the District's
transportation past.

The new posted images include Wisconsin Avenue during "rush hour" in
1960 (a nearly empty Wisconsin Avenue compared to today's rush hour),
South Capitol Street near the new Nationals ballpark, H Street NE, and
Pennsylvania at Minnesota Avenue, Southeast.

In addition to 25 historic photographs posted on the DDOT Web site
earlier this year, DDOT yesterday posted an additional 25 photographs
taken from the DDOT archives.

The people, buildings, street signs, cars, streets, highways, trucks,
streetcars, traffic patterns and street lights are captured as they
were in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

"These historic images are a fantastic way for the public to view the
history of transportation in the District of Columbia," said Emeka
Moneme, Director of DDOT. "From Wisconsin Avenue to Pennsyvlania
Avenue, from Northeast to Southeast, these fantastic images illuminate
our city's transportation history. Tracking our transportation history
helps us learn from the past and look into the future."

The images help document the District's transportation history and are
one aspect of DDOT's preservation efforts to collect and conserve
photos, studies, reports, plans, design and construction documents,
drawings, and artifacts.

These preservation efforts are part of a history project sponsored by
the DDOT Research and Technology Development Office with support from
the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

"Transportation Planning & Research," and click on Historical Photo
Archives.

Test of GU Campus Alert System

From: ANC 3B <anc3b@aol.com>

There will be a test of Georgetown University's Campus Alert System on
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 at Noon for 2 minutes. This alert
system sounds like a train's steam whistle.

In the event of a real emergency, the Campus Alert System would sound
in a series of intermittent five-second blasts, for a total of 15
minutes.

For more information email at safety@georgetown.edu.

I'm interested in the answers to this one, including how to discover and
contact an absentee landlord. It's hard to ask the landlord to get involved if
you don't know who he or she is, or where they live, unfortuately.

I'm also interested in the subject of noise more generally, since in our
neighborhood power tools and leaf blowers are frequently even more intrusive
than rowdy parties. It seems like there should be some sort of restriction on
the hours these things can be used but, if there is, no one seems to know or
care.
