Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BROOK_080920_174.JPG: The Interstate would have come through here. Now it's a bus parking area. The Brook building is to the right of this.
2. BROOK_080920_179.JPG: The guide said the government had bought up the houses where the park is now in order to demolish them to run the Interstate through DC. He said the folks at Brookland and others joined together to stop the process, saving the community.
3. BROOK_080920_182.JPG: Bernard W. Pryor. A memorial to one of the activists who blocked the Interstate from coming through here.
4. BROOK_080920_227.JPG: The backside of the Brook manor house
5. BROOK_080920_251.JPG: The image above the CVS is an art deco design that they were required to keep, not the finger.
6. BROOK_080920_305.JPG: He said this had earlier been a bordello
7. BROOK_080920_350.JPG: We're on a hill. The guide said this was the edge of a glacial ledge, which left all of the sediment to form the hill when the glacier retreated.

Wikipedia Description: Brookland, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brookland is a neighborhood in the Northeast quadrant of Washington, D.C., historically centered along 12th Street NE. Brookland is bounded by 9th Street NE to the west, Rhode Island Avenue NE to the south, and South Dakota Avenue to the east. Michigan Avenue is the northern boundary between 9th and 14th Streets; however, Brookland also includes the Mount St. Sepulchre Franciscan Monastery, which gives the neighborhood a northward panhandle between 14th and South Dakota that extends to Taylor Street. The President Lincoln and Soldiers' Home National Monument is also located near Brookland. (It is technically in Park View.) The Lincoln cottage was the once rural place where President Abraham Lincoln spent the summers of 1862 to 1864, to escape the heat and political pressures of Washington. Brookland has been nicknamed "Little Rome" by some for the many Catholic institutions clustered around The Catholic University of America (CUA), Brookland's main attraction.

Brookland is served by the Brookland-CUA station on the Red Line of the Washington Metro.

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year. Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina. Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater. Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
