Washington DC – Georgetown: Old Stone House
Washington

The Old Stone House, at 3501 M Street, is the oldest standing building in Washington DC. Built in 1765 in the Vernacular style by Christopher and Rachel Layman, it is also Washington’s last Pre-Revolutionary Colonial building on its original foundation. The building survived demolition for years because local folklore had it that George Washington and Pieere Charle L’Enfant met here instead of at Suter’s Tavern.

After Christopher died, Rachel sold the house to widower Cassandra Chew, who added a rear kitchen in 1767 and a second floor by 1775. The third floor was added after the original west wall was dismantled after a property line dispute. The house stayed in the Layman family until 1875. Over the years, it has been used as shop for hats, tailors, locksmiths, clockmakers, house roofing, house painting, and a used car dealership. In 1953 the Federal government purchased the property for ,000 and turned it over to the National Park Service. After a renovation in 1960, it was opened to the public.

The Georgetown Historic District, roughly bounded by Reservoir Rd., NW, and Dumbarton Oaks Park on the north; Rock Creek Park on the east; the Potomac River on the south; and Glover-Archbold Parkway on the west, encompassses the area laid out as a prosperous port town in 1751 prior to the establishment of the Distrcict of Columbia, and later assimilated into the city of Washington in 1871. Today, the primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, which contain high-end shops, bars, and restaurants. Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University, the Old Stone House, the oldest standing building in Washington, and the embassies of France, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, and Ukraine.

Just looking through my Washington DC pictures from back in November 2008 and seeing if there was anything else in there that was worthy of being placed on Flickr. This isn’t too bad.

Stone Temple Pilots Tickets – Self-Titled Stone Temple Pilots Album to Arrive May 25

Stone Temple Pilots Tickets – Self-Titled Stone Temple Pilots Album to Arrive May 25

After months-years even-of anticipation, STP fans can rest easy! NME.com reported that the Stone Temple Pilots’ forthcoming new album will arrive on May 25. The eponymous album is the follow-up to 2001′s Shangri-La Dee Da and is the band’s first album since reuniting after six years apart. STP’s own Robert and Dean DeLeo produced Stone Temple Pilots, which features the following 12 tracks: “Between the Lines,” “Take a Load Off,” “Huckleberry Crumble,” “Hickory Dichotomy,” “Dare If You Dare,” “Cinnamon,” “Hey Daze,” “Bagman,” “Peacoat,” “Fast As I Can,” “First Kiss on Mars” and “Maver.”

The first single off Stone Temple Pilots’ eponymous new album is “Between the Lines.” The track arrived online on March 22, but the week before frontman Scott Wieland & Co. debuted a few new tracks at Austin’s South By Southwest Music Festival. On March 18, the band held an afternoon listening party at Betsy’s Bar, reported Billboard.com, inviting radio and press reps to the bash.

Wieland told those in attendance that “nine or so years ago, when the band split, we had this feeling that the legacy wasn’t finished.” Wieland also said that making new music is “what really had made us a band and kept us a band for such a long time.” Speaking about STP’s new album, the frontman hailed the self-produced effort “a labor, but a labor of love” and also “a really special record to us.”

Also on March 18, STP performed at the Austin Music Hall, delivering a set list comprised off old favorites and new songs. “Vaseline,” “Creep,” “Big Empty,” “Plush,” “Wicked Garden” and “Sex Type Thing” were among the old songs dusted off by STP, while the band also debuted “Hickory Dichotomy,” “Bagman,” “Huckleberry Crumble” and “Between the Lines” during the 80-minute gig. After playing older fare like “Hollywood Bitch,” “Sour Girl,” “Dead and Bloated” and “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart,” the Doors’ Robbie Krieger took the stage for the encore, performing “Roadhouse Blues” with the quartet. Krieger was in Austin promoting the new Doors documentary When You’re Strange.

The Stone Temple Pilots’ SXSW show kicked off the band’s mini tour, which sees the veteran rock band performing in U.S. cities like Thackerville, Okla.; Sioux City, Iowa; Milwaukee, Wis.; Chicago, Ill.; Detroit, Mich.; Robinsonville, Miss.; Camden, N.J. and more before traveling to Europe for dates in June and early August.

Among the Stone Temple Pilots’ upcoming tour dates is a headlining spot at the 2010 edition of DC101 Chili Cook-Off. The Washington Business Journal reports that the rock festival is a fundraiser for the National Kidney Foundation Serving the National Capital Area and will take place at Washington, D.C.’s RFP Stadium on May 22. Hailed D.C.’s largest one-day rock festival, this is the 32nd annual event and will feature STP and Alice in Chains co-headlining, while other performers include Cage the Elephant, Anberlin and Switchfoot. Festival organizers anticipate this year’s concert and cook-off to raise a whopping .6 million for the Kidney Foundation.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson told the Jack Diamond Morning Show in Washington, DC that he has a “great relationship” with Vince McMahon and is working closely with WWE to create a special edition of WWE programming. “I love that world and being able to entertain, especially if I could go back and it’s on Smackdown and do a promo or guest host or we could create this cool show, whatever that may be,” Johnson said. “Especially now, I’m at the point where I can go back and give back to the fans and help out guys in any way I can… “Right now, we’re trying to put together – there is always something cool and interesting for me to do. I would like to do something more than just host the show. I’m in the process of creating something really cool for the fans – something very special and unique. It will be something like one big entertaining show.” PROWRESTLING.NET REPORT The radio show quotes are courtesy of James Caldwell of PWTorch.com.
