And…. We’re Live!

Hello World!

First post on a new blog. This is kind of exciting (for me at least).

This blog is focused on the small triangular park located where West Virginia Avenue meets 8th and K Streets NE in the Near Northeast/H Street neighborhood of Washington, DC.

K Street Triangle Park

K Street Triangle Park (from Google Earth)

It’s a small park in the middle of a busy intersection. Currently, there’s not much to look at except for some overgrown boxwood shrubs and an old community bulletin board that unfortunately is rotting from exposure to the elements.

This space could be so much more! The park sits at a prominent intersection in our neighborhood and could be a well-maintained focal point. Every day numerous people see this space as they pass by on foot, on the bus, or in their cars.  Let’s make it something worth looking at!

So what would you like to see there? A permanent public-art installation? New landscaping? Trees? Flower-boxes? This blog was created in order to start a dialog within in the community about what this spot could and should be.

In the meantime, check out the blog topics and share your ideas and opinions! Together, we can make this a great community improvement!
