I am an intern with the DC Historic Preservation Office helping out with the DC Community Heritage Project. I thought some of your readers might be interested in applying for one of the DC Community Heritage Project grants due on May 1. The program is offering up to $2,000 for nonprofits working on projects to document and preserve DC's heritage.
We are having a grant workshop next Tuesday, April 21 at the Southeast Neighborhood Library form 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. If you'd like any more information you can get in touch with Albert Shaheen at grants@wdchumanities.org or you can find more details at the Humanities Council of Washington, DC website.
Thank you for your help and I hope you can pass this information along to folks who might be interested.
Best,
Eli Pousson

My great grandfather lived on Q street in the Eckington area close to the turn of the century and was involved with the construction of some of the residences there. Their home is still standing.
I will try to locate the few photos we have of that area at that time.
He and his family were members of Eckington Presbyterian Church.
Very cool. Q Street has some lovely rowhomes.
did ya move?
Interesting article you got here. I'd like to read something more about this topic.

Hey DCAvocado,
Posting on this particular page might be a little off-topic, but I couldn't find your email on the blog and I thought this was something you might be interested in.
SeeClickFix.com is a web site where citizens anywhere in the US can view and report non-emergency issues (e.g. potholes, broken streetlights, graffiti etc.) and tag their exact location using a Google Maps application. After the issue has been reported, notification is sent to the municipal authorities who are responsible for addressing citizens' concerns. In addition to reporting issues, users can view issues that have been raised by others in the community and opt in to receive notifications about new issues as they are raised. Of course, something like this depends on people in the area actually using it, and even though SeeClickFix is catching on in DC we've heard from a concerned citizen in Eckington that most of the avenues we've used to promote it so far haven't effectively reached your neighborhood.
You can check out the community page for Eckington at http://www.seeclickfix.com./dc_eckington. If it something that you're interested in, I think you exploring it and talking about it on your blog can be a good first step towards getting people in your neighborhood involved.

There was a bridge at T Street that spanned the railroad tracks. The bridge carried street traffic, including streetcars, and included sidewalks. The bridge was in place from early in the 20th century until the late 1960s. Restoration of the bridge would be tremendous asset to the Eckington neighbornood.
Your article very interesting and useful !!! I like it
