Filed in archive Cities by Gloria Gamat on July 8, 2008

National Harbor: Booming Little City of Oxon Hill



Ovetta Wiggins wrote at The Washington Post:

Visitors stroll along the pier, some stopping to take a water taxi to Alexandria or Georgetown. Art lovers gaze at pieces in two galleries. And, near the plaza, children climb over "The Awakening," the massive sculpture that was uprooted from its longtime home in Hains Point.

This is National Harbor, the little city being built by Milton Peterson along the banks of the Potomac River in Oxon Hill, where yachts are filling the marina.

The city is slowly taking shape.


I've got cousins near Alexandria Virginia and I guess they've been to National Harbor already. Definitely one place to check out.
