The To Do List
April 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, H Street, Near Northeast/Atlas District, Stadium Armory
What is that saying about April showers? Seems like we can’t shake them this month, with every day bringing a chance of sprinkles or thunderstorms. Or hail. Or hurricane winds. Hopefully you can enjoy the weekend in and around the Hill rain or shine. Whether you’re hunting for Easter Eggs, hyped up on Peeps, or [...]

Fake Irish Drunk Fest Comes to RFK
March 10th, 2011 · 13 Comments · Stadium Armory
Oh God, it’s ShamrockFest time again. Every year we go through this. Hordes of drunks staggering their way back from RFK and trying (and, oh so often failing) to figure out how to use the Metro.

Reservation 13 Update – Long Term Development
November 10th, 2010 · 4 Comments · New Hill East, Stadium Armory
While social services sprawl understandably took up a good portion of the time at last week’s Reservation 13 meeting, the original purpose had been to discuss the longer term developments of the site. For those catching up, Reservation 13 is the large block of land south of the Armory and east of 19th Street SE [...]

Reservation 13 Update – A Social Services Dumping Ground
November 5th, 2010 · 27 Comments · New Hill East, Stadium Armory
I don’t remember my Dante well enough, but I believe community meetings are featured in the 4th ring of Hell, correct?
