This past February, after a noticeable uptick in online misunderstanding of who, what, and where Southeast DC is, my coworker and friend Nikki Peele and I decided to spread some love for our quadrant with a campaign to get people smiling about the part of the city we live and work in – and both [...]

Despite Mother Nature’s well played attempt to derail our conversation, I caught up with Lieutenant Michael Thornton of PSA 107 for a Capitol Hill crime status report earlier this week. Special thanks in advance to the Lieutenant for donating his time to The Hill is Home. Towards the end of last year, there seemed to [...]
