'It was the first of several meetings, in the same place, on the same couch, that ultimately helped Bowser lure Leonsis back as his plans in Virginia started to unravel.'

This week I started on a project to visit every one of DC’s 683 parks for City Cast DC. I decided to start at the southern tip of the city: a tiny nameless bit of parkland between I-295 and the Potomac River. I got there to witness an air battle between a bald eagle and 2 osprey!
