Georgetown is a historic neighborhood, commercial, and entertainment district located in northwest Washington, D.C., situated along the Potomac River. Founded in 1751 in the state of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years. Georgetown remained a separate municipality until 1871, when the United States Congress created a new consolidated government for the whole District of Columbia. A separate act passed in 1895 specifically repealed Georgetown's remaining local ordinances and renamed Georgetown's streets to conform with those in the City of Washington.
The primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue & M Street, which contain high-end shops, bars, restaurants, and the Georgetown Park enclosed shopping mall, as well as the Washington Harbour waterfront restaurants at K Street, NW, between 30th and 31st Streets. Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University and numerous other landmarks, such as the Volta Bureau and the Old Stone House, the oldest unchanged building in Washington. The embassies of France, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, and Ukraine are located in Georgetown.

En route to Keh Lok Si Temple one passes a tidy market place. The merchants of this largely Chinese city are very industrious. The famous city, Georgetown – Penang's capital – is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, rich in history.
This Malaysian city is also a transit point, north and south, for many an overland traveler.

Puffy clouds seem to drift above and below the old Georgetown Car Barn, originally built (1895-97) to store DC's streetcars, but now used by Georgetown University. 8 July 2020
Located about 5 minutes further up the hill from the famous Chinese Temple Complex Kek Lok si is the Air Itam Dam. The dam was built by the Penang City Council between 1958-1962. Today, besides supplying fresh water to Penangites, it's a popular jogging/hiking trail for the locals.
From the dam, one can overlook to the city located north-east of the island, Georgetown which has been listed as World Cultural Heritage Site in 2008.

Healy Hall is the historic flagship building at the main campus of Georgetown University. Constructed between 1877-79, it was designed by prominent architects Paul J. Pelz and John L. Smithmeyer at the time they were working on the Library of Congress. The building was listed on DC Inventory of Historic Sites in 1964, on the National Register of Historic Places on May 25, 1971, and as a National Historic Landmark on December 23, 1987.
Built in a Neo-Medieval style that combines elements of Romanesque, Early Gothic, Late Gothic and Early Renaissance, the building contains the Office of the President; Georgetown's Department of Classics; the Kennedy Institute of Ethics; and the National Reference Center for Bioethics Literature.
Notable rooms in Healy include Riggs Library, one of the few extant cast iron libraries in the nation; the Philodemic Room, the meeting room for the Philodemic Society, one of the oldest collegiate debating clubs in the nation; the grand Hall of Cardinals; the historic Constitution Room; and the Carroll Parlor, which houses several notable pieces from the university's art collection.
Perhaps the grandest space in the building is Gaston Hall, Georgetown's "Jewel in the Crown", the 750-seat auditorium which has played host to multitudes of world leaders. Gaston Hall, located on the third and fourth floors and named for Georgetown's first student, William Gaston, is decorated with the coats of arms of the Jesuit colleges and universities and rich allegorical scenes painted by notable Jesuit artist Brother Francis C. Schroen. Schroen also created the intricate paintings found in the Carroll Parlor and on the ceiling of the Bioethics Reference Center's Hirst Reading Room.

The gentrifying of the last artist neighbourhood in South Seattle (maybe all of Seattle?).
I had just finished shopping at Costco that morning and I really did not want to return to work. "Work!?!" I haven't been to All City Coffee in, well I could not recall the last time I was in Georgetown? And surprise! One half of Georgetown was in a huge pile of rumble. (Georgetown is located at the northend of Boeing Airfield and south of downtown Seattle. All City Coffee sits under the landing approach to Boeing Airfield.)
The gentrifying of Georgetown was inevitable I guess. Ballard long ago had been purchased up by developers, block-by-block - it's gentrification has been evolving for a few years. Fremont is completely yuppified. Georgetown was the next logical target and acquisition property. Being an artist community with cheap rent, an above ground-underground comic book shop, Seattle's coolest coffee cafe, artist-biker bars and restaurants, avant-garde art galleries, and home of Artopia.
