Hill Buzz

I don’t know about you but the chill in the air and the orange-colored leaves are making me think about pumpkin pies, apple cider, and evenings by the fire.  Now if only the Redskins would start winning a few games, I could count this as one of the better falls in DC. Instead of lamenting yet another loss, let’s look back to other events from the last week.

• DC Mud has the scoop on a grocery store and new apartments coming to H Street NE.
• Remember when we told you about people keeping chickens in their back yard?  City Desk has more on Tommy Wells’ efforts to change the legislation to allow the birds on the Hill.
• Sunday’s shooting in NE and the carjacking at 12th and C Streets NE have neighbors concerned but seem to not be getting much attention in area blogs or news outlets.  So this is my reminder to you, dear readers, to be careful out there and report anything suspicious.
• In case you missed it, you can hear JD Land on Monday’s Kojo Nnamdi Show here.
• The Washington Business Journal recently reported that DC is a top spot for young adults.  The article quotes Barbara Lang of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce explaining, “New and revitalized neighborhoods are also putting D.C. on the map, Lang said, citing the U Street corridor and H Street NE corridor as magnets for the young and hip.”
