Check out Wikipedia's article on The Southwest Waterfront, and see what can be updated. Actually, we might put a hand in it soon, since it lacks mention of any redevelopment plans or projects.

The Examiner.com recently published an article entitled "Maine Avenue Seafood Market is urban art for the palate". Yet another round of praise for our fish market.

Rebecca from We Love DC plugs the Waterfront: "I’ll keep it 'tranquilo' during the day by hitting up Cantina Marina for some on the waterfront margaritas and a fried catfish sandwich. The dockside restaurant is the perfect place to meet up with friends, soak up good the weather and enjoy the view." According to management, Cantina Marina will remain open during the first phase of construction of the new Waterfront in a temporary location while their new location is being built.
