The amount of 'stuff' built on that block in the last 7 years is staggering. What is that an olympic size pool? The 1% -tedness of this is pretty bowel loosening.

A drive thru is still TBD but a Mitt-style car elevator is more likely!

And that's not all. It looks like the ANC is also considering a proposal to chop off the yard of the Win Faulkner house on Ordway that went on the market earlier this year and put up a new house. Same architeccts: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16494644/ANC3C/2012/2012-09-18/File%203530%20Ordway%20Plans.pdf

Is it true there was a public hearing this past week?

Well, it was on the agenda of the Cleveland Park historical board, which is open to the public.

Isn't this the property where JPDS was going to move?

The Cleveland Park Historical Society's Architectural Review Committee had a public meeting Monday. The proposal goes before the ANC on Tuesday.

I'm not the the only one who's actually hoping it gets approved/built, just for the entertainment value of the screeching and wailing that will ensue, rught? I can't be.

Yes! There's nothing "Mc" about this place.

Are we talking about the same Cleveland Park? The one in DC? If so, you're nuts.

As of today, the "under contract" sign on the property is gone.
