Of the vacant buildings on that stretch of 9th, Shiloh owns 1526, 1528, 1532, 1534, and 1536. The NPS owns the Woodson house, 1538, and the house to the right of the Woodson house, 1540. <BR/><BR/>See http://shilohdc.blogspot.com/ for a run-down of Shiloh's vacant properties.Shaw Rezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445009438535700859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-56514425466606484282007-04-10T14:44:00.000-05:002007-04-10T14:44:00.000-05:00interestingly enough the Hughes and Tubman portrai...interestingly enough the Hughes and Tubman portraits were not there's to cover since National Park Service bought those properties from Shiloh - only 1526 and 1528 9th which had the commercial posters are owned by Shiloh and therefore in violationjmc39https://www.blogger.com/profile/15679234587494608425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-39394772650538505142007-04-10T13:43:00.000-05:002007-04-10T13:43:00.000-05:00It looks like they have recently upgraded their st...It looks like they have recently upgraded their street banners a bit also, at least since the last time I bothered to look up at them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-36460248675220929642007-04-10T13:37:00.000-05:002007-04-10T13:37:00.000-05:00this does look much better! also, does anyone kno...this does look much better! also, does anyone know when the mongolian grill is coming to 9th?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-26326472459857193842007-04-10T12:09:00.000-05:002007-04-10T12:09:00.000-05:00Cheers to the activist and all you Shaw bloggers.....Cheers to the activist and all you Shaw bloggers...your efforts are really starting to pay off in improving this community and I, for one, appreciate all of you!!
