Diamond Derby Returns to Crystal City
www.mvjantzen.com
It’s great to see a vast underground multi-level parking garage put to a creative new use. TheDiamond Derbyreturned toCrystal City, landing in a garage a few blocks from their debut in March. Crystal City doesn’t have many exciting venues, so this bike race was a good fit. Biking in the D.C. region ...

Tomorrow (Saturday): Finally, more abundant sunshine and a return of autumnal conditions. Welcome back! As long as your garden has enough water at the moment, there’s little reason not to enjoy blue skies and high temperatures in the 70-75 degree range. Light north breezes make it extremely pleasant. Bike ride, anyone?

Mark Blacknell Fancy!
September 28, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Michael Edmonds So in a fit of stupidity...I assume the rest of the garage that is not blocked off will be available for parking? Should we enter from the north or south entrance and not the middle? Park on G3?
September 29, 2012 at 2:41 am
Mark Blacknell There's loads of free garage and street parking in the area.
September 29, 2012 at 11:43 am
Robert H. Mandle Here is a parking map that shows free parking. You can also park in the same garage as the diamond derby, there will be vehicle access on the same ramp. http://www.crystalcity.org/_files/docs/diamondderbyparking.pdf
