Yesterday the Columbia Heights group went around the northern part of the neighborhood. We saw many row houses. Each row house has a front yard. All the owners had personalized theirs with wind mills, fountains, garden gnomes, and especially flowers (or weeds). As we walked further south the houses seem to increase in size. Further West buildings became more commercial. I took a picture of a street sign that I really like because it shows the downtown part of Columbia Heights.
Investigating Where We Live (IWWL) is a summer outreach program at the National Building Museum, designed for students aged 12-16 from the D.C. metropolitan area. Participants learn to use creative writing and photography as a means of understanding and describing D.C. neighborhoods. At the end of the program, participants will share what they have learned by creating a public exhibition. In 2010, students will focus on the neighborhoods of Petworth, Southwest Waterfront, and Trinidad.
