[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is helpful info. I'm fine with Langston being renovated as a fancy golf course given its history and its more out of the way location. NPS is really mismanaging East Potomac Park though. The city could do so much more with this space, and the restrictions on commerical activity in NPS spaces are really overly burdensome for places outside of the Mall and Rock Creek Park. I'm involved with a group that would like to host outdoor events in DC parks, and even working with NPS to do free outdoor events is a massive hassle if you're not a regular partner organization.[/quote]

Great to hear of your effort. I remember that DC had this rock festival in West Potomac Park in 2015 (I believe). The Strokes headlined. It was incredible.

Unfortunately, I didn't attend, and the festival never returned because...politics. "How dare some special interest make a dollar at a federal park if my jerkoff event can't play in the same park!" Or something like that.

Such a shame.[/quote]
