As I am sure many of you have heard, there is a huge amount of new development currently taking place (and slated to take place) in what is called the NoMa Business Improvement District of DC.  NoMa is short for North of Massachusetts Avenue.  Over the next 5 years, an enormous amount of mixed-use development will be erected in the area between Mass Ave and R Street NE, and between North Capitol Street and 2nd Street NE.  NPR Radio has just moved it's headquarters there.  There will be condos, apartments, restaurants, nightlife, businesses - you name it.  On Monday, Mayor Fenty oversaw the demolition of Terrell Junior High to make room for the new North West One sight, a $47 million mixed use facility to include apartments, a new library, recreational facilities, condos, townhouses, etc.  For more information on what to expect, boundary maps, and development time lines, visit the NoMa BID website here:
