The Difference 6 Years Can Make
David Alpert’s Greater Greater Washington points us to some before-and-after photos of the new Capitol Quarter development near the ballpark which opened last week. The photos come from Jacqueline Dupree’s JD Land, an authoritative and comprehensive blog on all the development going on throughout the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood.
Check out these two shots of Fourth and L, SE (map). The first is from June 2003, the second from this past June. As if the transformation weren’t obvious enough, note the police car in the first shot.
Here are a lot more before-and-afters.
And for those who really want to remember Capitol Riverfront the way it was, JD Land sells this poster of over 100 now-demolished buildings from around the neighborhood:
