Columbia heights isn't the greatest neighborhood. the old park used to have a lot of drunk ppl visit. it doesn't really have any swings but lots of kids do frequent it. They have lots of petty crimes like theft in the area (https://spotcrime.com/dc/washington/columbia+heights)).
They had meetings on fixing up the park. They wanted to fix things like drainage.
They appointed a new president Richard Dubeshter. He's gay and into the art scene in DC just like James Alefantis. He shares many mutual friends with Alefantis and he is the President of the Board of the Trolley Park. (https://archive.is/gCj91)) Richard also sells real estate and makes art. Links below.
Castellum llc is the watch tower that looks over the 11th and monroe park which used to be an old trolley park. they renovated the park in 2010 so this was possible "they're raising the level of the park so that there's a clear line of sight for people (or, I assume police cars) going by, making it harder to hide there".
Why is there a watch tower watching over this park? The park was renovated and reopened in February of 2012. In July 2014, Alefantis buys Castellum and renovates it in 2015. In 2016, there's an image of a guy in the watch tower on the phone or something on google maps. The watch tower had to be build in 2015. He must know that this is a good area to get kids now that the park is cleaner and safer for kids.
THE SAME TIME CASTELLUM LLC WAS ESTABLISHED WAS THE SAME TIME IN 2015 RICHARD DUBESHTER BECAME PREZ OF TROLLEY BOARD. He knows something. This is all coordinated. No complaints have been issued about the watch tower either. They have been having meetings
We also need to look into solimar international - it looks like a globalist travel agency "supporting global dvlpmt through global tourism" (http://www.solimarinternational.com/resources-page/blog))
People to look into:
Solimar International
Richard DuBeshter (served North Columbia Civic Association and was president of Board of Friends of Trolley Park)

What if.... and this is just speculation saying look outside the box.. so we know the value of a watchtower to avoid the cops or whatever. But what if you had children play on the playground and a buyer in the tower watching. He could choose what he might be interested in from afar. Never actually coming into contact with the subject. Not sure how the trolley plays into this besides maybe transportation.
