Lecture on the 1848 Pearl Affair Tonight

By DCist Contributor Matt Pelkey On the Fourth of July you light fireworks, on Memorial Day you grill hunks of meat, and on Labor Day you grill more hunks of meat. But how should you celebrate Emancipation Day this Monday? The voting rights march leaves little excuse for perverting another holiday into reason for a meaningless leisure activity.

Bed Bath & Beyond Open in Gallery Place

Thanks to our friends at Gallery Place Living, we have been informed that last Tuesday the District’s first Bed Bath & Beyond opened its doors along the ever-popular Seventh Street stretch in the heart of Chinatown.

Is Chinatown It?

Whether you like the sterile, quasi-corporate feel of the newly-invigorated Chinatown or not, it’s near impossible to deny how far the neighborhood has come in recent years. It’s brighter, louder, crowded with life, and packed with $5.3 billion worth of development spurred by the MCI Center. But is it the city’s hottest nightspot?
