Great photos. I need bike over to Anacostia and explore that area some more. At Congresswoman Norton's National Park Service town-hall last week, someone from the Park Service said that they will be conducting an Anacostia riverfront study soon. I need to follow-up and find out more information about this.

As the Navy Yard/Capitol Riverfront and Southwest waterfront continue to develop, I expect that this will greatly benefit Anacostia. It might take 10-15 years but I think that as the Navy Yard area continues to become an extension of downtown, Anacostia will benefit greatly, since it is one metro station away.

I think DC missed a huge opportunity by not moving the monstrosity that is the University of the District of Columbia from its Van Ness location in upper Northwest to the Saint Elizabeth's campus. This could have created many good jobs east of the river, as well as providing convenient access to higher eductaion for neighbors.
