Hello everyone!!! Vacation time is over. I have some info to share with you all!!!
 
Cultural Tourism DC is announcing "Walking Town DC", Fall Edition. It's scheduled for Saturday, September 29, 2007.  This day of 45 free walking tours will showcase our city's rich diversity of neighborhoods, while promoting hometown appreciation of the capital's unique culture and heritage. I encourage you all to take advantage of these free walking tours.
 
WalkingTown, DC features tours led by volunteer and professional guides in every ward of the city. In addition to favorites such as Capitol Hill and Dupont Circle, they offer tours of Barracks Row, Brookland, and Marvin Gaye Park. The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development will present tours of the Anacostia  Waterfront and the Kingman and Heritage Islands, while the Capital Riverfront Business Improvement District will highlight the history of the Navy Yards and Washington Canal.
