Back to the feeding trough, all. After spending a weekend in the beautiful and delicious Bay Area, it’s nice to be back to the reality of dirty campaigning, impossible political prognostications, and the constant braying that the turrists are going to blow us up. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t love it… Restaurants in Anacostia? Is it time to put a sit down restaurant in the middle of Anacostia? That’s the question Washington Business…

He sits down with DCist to talk about his satellite radio experience and his book, “Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast…

One interesting characteristic about Washington is the lack of outdoor advertising. Sure, there may be a smattering of bus and metrorail ads, but for the most part, it is rare to find large advertisements in the central sections of the city. (New York Avenue in Northeast is another story …) We assume it has to do with not diluting the image of democracy through the power of neoclassical architecture. But here is a large clothing…
