The first thing you notice on Mt. Pleasant Street is the Deauville. When you see the harvest full moon in back of it, that's an image you can't forget. The Deauville Apartment Building burnt in 2008. The building was known for its slumlord, who still owns buildings in Adams Morgan.
A small cadre of committed individuals accompanied me last night to post up campaign signs before the Latino Festival/Fiesta Latina the next day.
We saw Councilmember Graham's sign in the window of the Deauville next to Mayor Fenty's. Since Fenty had lost, it seemed like fair game to place my poster over his. However, from the looks of some of Fenty's supporters at the festival, the mayor was still in the game as a write-in candidate.
Can't have a festival during campaign season without the candidates, but this one was pretty much candidate free, except for the signs. Even Councilman Jim Graham's usual raucous crowd was tempered this year by his absence. He's on vacation.
