Scott -

I live on Seaton Pl NW and my tabby cat Fritz got out of the house today Jan. 7 around 3pm. I'm hoping you might be able to add something to your listserv. He is a house cat and is not used to being outside.

I'm attaching a picture.

And here is an update from the cat owner:

We found Fritz tonight in our garage - fortunately he must have stayed close to home while we scoured Bloomingdale. He seems to be in one piece and happy to be back home. Quite a cold day to pick an escape! Thanks for posting so quickly and thanks for providing our community with all the information you provide.

The Fight to Save McMillan Park Isn’t Over

01/06/2017 01:13 pm ET | Updated 2 hours ago

Pete Tucker DC journalist

It looked like the David-versus-Goliath fight to save a historic park in the nation’s capital had, after nearly three decades, finally run its course.

On December 7th, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and city officials broke ground on a $720 million development on the 25-acre McMillan Park and Sand Filtration Plant site.

Developers and city officials were eager to take advantage of the green expanse, which filtered the city’s water beneath its surface for 80 years, and turn it into two million square feet of mostly office space and high-end housing, with a six-acre park.

At the groundbreaking Bowser said the pressing question was: “When are they going to do something about that place?” “Now,” she told the assembled crowd before she and other officials grabbed shovels.

But the very next day the project was halted.
