Poet and author Rab Wilson (left) joins in the fun at the Georgetown Cup time trial and Flying Scot display. Rab wrote a poem about this search and ownership of his 1957 Flying Scot bike. I has been released in booklet form with great woodcut illustrations and an accompanying music cd. Well recommended. Barry and his three great boys are on the right of the photo.
About Georgetown, Washington DC
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 A separate act passed in 1895 specifically repealed Georgetown's remaining local ordinances and renamed Georgetown's streets to conform with those in the City of Washington.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.

We went to Georgetown a couple of weekends ago, and someone had told me about this cupcake place. We went and there was a line outside, as we heard there usually was. We waited for awhile, but then they ran out. So yesterday, we got there half an hour before they opened to make sure we got some.

Georgetown, South Carolina is the 3rd oldest city in the state although some historians claim that American history began here in 1526 with the earliest settlement in North America by Europeans with African slaves. It is believed that in that year the Spanish, under Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón, founded a colony called San Miguel de Guadalupe. Fever epidemic and a revolt of the slaves put an end to that first settlement.
