Davistown or Skyland City, New Columbia?

A rendering of Skyland Town Center from SkylandTownCenter.com

STATEHOOD FUN...

Ever wonder what would happen to our neighborhoods, if Washington, D.C. became a state? Will our eight wards become eight, new counties? Will the Advisory Neighborhood Councils, within those eight wards, become distinct and exciting, new towns?

Imagine the possibilities!

Imagine that hilly, historic, pseudo-suburban ANC-7B, with Skyland (above) as its downtown nerve center, is now an incorporated city in the new 51st state of New Columbia. Georgetown will surely be its capitol, ..but, what should our new, shining city on a hillcrest be called?

1. Davistown, New Columbia - taken from historic Fort Davis

2. Hillcrest City, New Columbia - named for historic first neighborhood of ANC-7B

3. Naylorville, New Columbia - taken from ANC-7B designation, Naylor-Dupont

4. Randall City, New Columbia - named for the first developer of the Southeast hills

5. Skyland, New Columbia - inspired by what might become Downtown ANC-7B

I think 'Melville' has a certain classically American charm, ..but, no need to rush! Just submit your choice in the poll, to the right of this box, ..and see you in New Columbia!

From the Frankenstein-inspired elements in Captain America to the more obvious flashes of horror in the original Human Torch, the amazing Spider-Man, incredible Hulk, invincible Iron Man and uncanny X-Men - even the supernatural possession of Dr. Donald Blake, by the mighty, Viking sky god, Thor - this is and always has been Marvel's secret sauce. This is the Marvel brand... And even the publisher's greatest superheroines would not escape it. One need look no further, than Sersi the Terrible! Half-naked in the apocalyptic green of Eden, Sersi is a cosmic sorceress and member of Marvel's The Eternals (now, titular stars of a proper, live-action superhero flick) - who reall...

DC MAYOR BOWSER PROMOTES $20M IN GRANTS TO PROP UP VACANT, OVERPRICED DOWNTOWN

From W-JLA Channel 7 News "...At a time when D.C.'s office vacancy rate has soared and many businesses have either left or are struggling – especially downtown...D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Acting Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert...emphasized that $19.6 million in grants are available...$3 million available in grants to help businesses that want to open or expand in commercial space that has been vacant for at least six months downtown..." A patron saint for Downtown Washington's bloat, gouging, sharky office space developers? (Shark-R Salas/M Bowser-AP/C Brehman/Photomanip-Capicostia) From the Capicostia Desk... 'Bail out' may be a more fitful accounting of Mayor Muriel Bowser's valiant campaign to revitalize a Downtown Washington, underwater with vacant, overpriced office buildings and retail spaces, not accruing valuable revenue for the DC Treasury - more fitful than 'prop up', I think. The loss of revenue, being ...
