Former NPR producer, now retired. I write the Bygone Brookland blog about Washington DC history, especially my neighborhood.
I know I don't have many followers here, but I just had to post a little bit about my beloved wife, who passed today. Kee Malesky was a research librarian for NPR for over two decades, and every reporter, producer and editor there owes her a great debt. We were married for 55 years.

A lovely wintertime photo of the tracks north of Washington DC's Union Station in 1920.

Nice, crisp aerial of DC from the Washington Monument in 1911. Pepco plant, old Post Office, Pension Building, GPO, Union Station, Agriculture Dept. greenhouses on mall, Center Market all visible. Some still stand. #DChistory

I been helping the Mapping Segregation folks by transcribing various deeds in Washington DC for racially restrictive covenants. If you've never seen one, this is what the language looks like.
