It was quite a week for baseball here in the District. MLB finally granted the Nationals an owner, but the Lerner group will certainly have its work cut out for it. Emboldened by the culmination of their baseball dreams, some city officials might next try to bring home the Redskins. Owner or no, the battle to get Nats games televised continues.
This week, we announced our next big musical event, and we bid farewell to one of our favorite local bands. As always, we kept a close eye on our transit systems; Metro Chief Dan Tangherlini is making himself accessible, while Metro continues introducing its neologisms, and WMATA considers adding retail to Metro stations.
This week we also discovered D.C.’s status as brandy capital, examined the relative strength of District high schools, questioned Pitchfork’s treatment of a local, observed as Fairfax buried a car, and checked in on the Mayor’s plans for the city’s libraries.
Take a look at all our stories in Music, Arts, Food and Drink, Theater, and Sports.
