Fall is here and Georgetowners are heading outside to enjoy the cooler temperatures.
Thursday's high was 61 degrees and many Georgetowners took advantage of the weather by doing yard work and going for walks, runs and bike rides.
Alvaro Chaves, who lives near Rose Park, raked fallen fruit from a ginkgo tree off the sidewalk in front of his house.
"I have to clean it two or three times a day to get rid of this mess," said Chaves. "Other than that, the tree is beautiful. It turns gold in the fall."
