Emblem Plaza
Emblem Plaza opened in November 2025 at 801 Virginia Ave SE. Neighbors helped plant it, and the old portal stones from the historic CSX railway now do double duty as seating and as edges for the planting beds.

Good to know
Dogs on leash. Please keep off the plantings and leave the portal stones where they are. No grilling or open flames.
What we do here
We raise funds, help operate the plaza and program it, and we're adding historical interpretive signage that tells the story of the site and its stones, planned for March 2027.
