About
Kent Boese has called Park View home since the Spring of 2007. A librarian by trade, his interests in history and community lead him to become active in discovering the community’s rich history and sharing that with his neighbors. He has also been the ANC Commissioner for 1A08 since January 2011. To contact him regarding this blog send an email to parkviewblog@gmail.com
Michael has been a resident of DC since 1997, and since 2003 has lived in the neighborhood located south of Petworth, north of Howard University, west of the Washington Hospital Center & east of Columbia Heights — Park View! He’s an observant observer and looks forward to the day when the ‘Park’ can be much more than “viewed”.
