New Lifestyle Collection!

Georgetown, Georgetown!
So special that this article came to fruition the way that it did.
I met Mapping Georgetown ❤️❤️ at a breakfast event, when they asked me to share my Georgetown neighborhood story. Almost two years later, they expanded their project via a collaboration with The Georgetowner. With my being a part of Mapping Georgetown, my Georgetown story ended up in The Georgetowner!
A warm thank you to all involved, especially the jazz club, Blues Alley.
