CPDP banners

We have received the four large display banners we created of our pictures. Beautifully designed by Xang Mimi Ho, they highlight some our team's most meaningful - and fun- work documenting Columbia Pike. 

Each banner is 33" wide x 81" tall.

These banners will be displayed at the Pike Farmers Market and other public community gatherings when the weather and pandemic restrictions allow, along with our books.

Enjoy... and stay tuned!

Sedge Moss - The Mayor of South 14th Street

Mr. Sedge Moss, is known to many as "The Mayor of South 14th Street," a neighborhood just off Columbia Pike. He volunteers with Arlington Historical Society, the Columbia Pike Library, and at the old W&OD caboose in Bluemont Park.

He often spends time in front of his house reading a paper and greeting everyone that comes by, including delivery people. As a result, Mr. Moss "knows all kinds of stuff about the neighborhood."
