The Douglas Memorial United Methodist Church was never the same after the 1968 riots. A nice profile of an H Street NE landmark over the past 50 years. Washington Post.
A novel but common sense take on the essentials of a good meal: Good service, good food, good ambiance/décor. Seems like Barracks Row’s own Garrison did not rate top marks with these diners, unfortunately. The Hoya
The amount of development coming to Capitol Riverfront is astonishing. Washington Business Journal does a good job of enumerating the projects coming to both sides of the Douglass bridge.

Washingtonian waxes poetic about the “Golden Age” of grocery shopping in DC. Tell that to Wards 7 and 8, though.
