a McMillan sunrise: "It's like walking among the clouds."

See this message and image from a resident abutting the McMillan site:

Here is a pic taken this morning at McMillan.

As someone observed of the Frank Olmsted Jr-designed park: "It's like walking among the clouds."

  3. Now Abigail can cover corruption in the DC govt.
    Bowser, Gray, Mendelson are using the affordable housing crisis to ram more luxury development down the peoples throats. Like Vision McMillan Partners corporate/govt. collusion to steal 25 acre McMillan Park, is corruption in the $billions, and miserable destructive urban planning, "the monstrosity on Michigan Avenue".
    For public health, we need open spaces, green space, a DC Wolf Trap outdoor concert stage, a DC Glen Echo arts and education campus, urban beach, and urban sustainable agriculture. We can Save McMillan Park for the people, public land for public needs, not VMP massive corporate welfare abuse and $billion profit.
    With proven vertical indoor growing technology we could convert the 20 acre McMillan/Olmsted Park underground caverns to a fully functional, local food production facility, making it a truly sustainable site. Imagine superior organic fresh fruit, vegetables and Family Farmed Fish freshly produced right here in DC, no longer trucked from California, Florida and Mexico.

Long time activist for McMillan Park, Daniel Wolkoff testifies to sane, healthy growth for DC, to Save McMillan Park, and landscape architect
    Mary Pat Rowan reveals the PR firm “astroturf campaign” in this City Council Committee Oversight hearing with Muriel Bowser.
