This is technically outside my Near Southeast purview (although I may have to expand my boundaries!), but today's Post story about
DC United negotiating for a 25,000-seat stadium and practice facility at
Poplar Point is a great piece of news, and another achievement for the
Anacostia Waterfront Iniative. This would be on the south side of the river, almost straight across from
Florida Rock. Just think of the vista someday, with stadiums and parks and mixed-use developments on both sides of the river, connected by a rebuilt "promenade"-style Frederick Douglass Bridge.
