Donaldson Run stream was previously called "Swimming Landing Run". Approx. 1880, a stone dam was built to build a swimming hole. The remains of the stone wall are still apparent on both sides of the stream. There is a ceramic pipe at the bottom of the wall that was used to release the water downstream. This swimming hole was used by the residents of Georgetown, and accessed by the river. At some point, that wall was destroyed. Probably by flood and floating tree. Around the 1920's, farther upstream, a cement wall was built to dam the stream, and create a swimming hole. Built onto the wall, downstream side is a shower room used for rinsing off. The remains of both of these walls remain.

Donaldson Run ruins
« Result #4 on Dec 29, 2004, 10:04am »
I'm not a resident of your neighborhood (I live in the Larchmont area, also in N. Arlington) but thought someone might have an answer to my question. What are the ruins located on the run about halfway between the river and Military Rd. I've heard rumors that it was once a swimming pool or something of a recreational nature, but does anyone know for sure?

Thanks, Richard Garner

Would you support a new stadium?
« Result #5 on Feb 20, 2003, 6:18pm »
Apparently three possible locations of a Baseball stadium have become public knowledge: "a Rosslyn location on the banks of the Potomac River overlooking the Washington monuments, on land occupied by a Costco warehouse store, or on nearby property close to the popular Pentagon City shopping mall". (the last two sites are under review by the County as possible locations for a Convention Center). The Civic Federation and County Board have publicly opposed a Professional Baseball Stadium in Arlington. The VA Baseball Stadium Authority has not provided any information required to make an informed decision. I would love to see a Baseball Stadium in Arlington. Assuming the economics made sense, and the infrastructure issues are properly addressed ... Would you support a Baseball Stadium in Arlington? or are you opposed?

Welcome to the new Bellevue Forest Citizens’ Association bulletin board. The intent of this bulletin board is to create a forum of feedback for our community delegates, and to initiate honest, courteous, respectful discussion surrounding some of the issues that are currently being debated.

The board is hosted by a service called ProBoards. The service is free, but there are pop up ads. If the discussion groups are useful and become popular, we can pay a fee to turn off the advertisements.

There are several topic based discussion area's created. More can be created and we are open to any suggestions.

How To Register:
After clicking on the “Register” button (top right corner), you will be asked to enter a user name and e-mail address. At this point, you have the option of making your e-mail address public to those who visit this bulletin board, or to keep it private. I recommend keeping it private for now (click the box). At the bottom of the page, “Agree” with the rules, and click “Register”. At this point, you need to wait for your e-mail to arrive. Your password is being sent to you in the e-mail message. Now, use that password, and come back to login.

Once you Login:
I would first recommend you visit the “Profile” section, and change your password to something you can remember.

To view postings, simply click on the category. To add a comment, or reply to a comment, you must be registered and logged in. A password is required for some of the discussion boards - all Bellevue Forest residents have been sent the password, and if you need it again, simply send a note to your Webmaster. Only Bellevue Forest residents are invited to participate in these discussions.

Enjoy
