Costco "beautiful," says Kwame: Costco will soon come to Fort Lincoln. Kwame Brown praises the development because it'll "look beautiful" to look at the back of the store while driving in on New York Avenue. Really? (Post) (Comment)

Lots and lots of parking coming to Ward 5: Fort Lincoln's supposedly "green" upcoming big-box development will be mostly surface parking lots, and a Lowe's with about as much parking as the Home Depot (though in a 3-story garage) may appear next to the Walmart on New York Avenue.

Green Fort Lincoln (except the parking ocean): The developer for the proposed big-box store at Fort Lincoln touts the green features of his proposal. The 3000-car parking lot is not one of them. Admittedly, Fort Lincoln is poorly served by transit. (Housing Complex, Eric Fidler) (Comment)
New York Avenue Costco: DC's first Costco and second Target may anchor a 42-acre shopping center off New York Avenue near the Maryland line. Now-GGW contributor Jaime Fearer hoped for a less big-box design when the last version of this project collapsed in 2007; will this version be better? But if there are going to be big boxes, this is probably the least walkable and least transit-oriented corner of DC. (WBJ) (Comment)
