A tree grows in NE

There are lots of things that drive me nuts about DC. First, the people from Virginia who drive on my roads but don't pay for them, the fact that DC gives out parking tickets to DC residents for parking in front of No Parking signs which are not at all legible, the fact that the schools suck.

But it does no good to kvetch all the time, so I decided to write a positive note about the landscaping on 295. 295 off of East Capitol is how I head to Maryland. They have been doing road construction on 295 for about 4 years now. But I think they are finally winding up and they have put shrubs and grasses in the median. It looks quite nice!

I went on the DC web page and wrote a comment. I didn't really expect a response, and I'm sure the Mayor didn't actually write it, but was happy to read a personalized response less than 3 days after I posted my comments.

Who knew.

Dear Ms. Bunny:

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback with regards to the landscaping on 295 N of the East Capitol exit. I truly appreciate your comments and I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing.

Sincerely,

Adrian M. Fenty, Mayor
