[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.washingtonian.com/blogs/openhouse/development/georgetown-day-school-buying-safeway-and-car-dealership-in-big-expansion.php GDS is buying the Safeway and Volvo dealership to expand and consolidate its campuses. Great for the school. Horrible for the neighborhood.[/quote] I think it's a win-win. Great for the school and for the AU neighborhood, which avoids getting another oversized, generic town center development of the type going up a mile south along Wisconsin Avenue. Even some folks who thought they wanted Cathedral Commons are now expressing surprise and disappointment at how large and out of scale it is for the surrounding neighborhood. They are concerned that it will be traffic magnet nightmare. I am not a GDS parent, but I expect that the school will be much more sensitive to immediate community concerns. [/quote]
