Another Blow For Downtown, Snow Closures, and Pocket Parks
There’s more worry about the future of downtown DC. Plus: Snow! It snowed, and might snow again, and people in the city have thoughts about how we handled it. And we’re also talking about the joys of pocket parks, and how there’s a new one on the horizon.
Check out the local reporting that powers our roundups:
- NBC Washington has you covered on all the details surrounding Fannie Mae leaving.
- Capital Weather Gang at the Post will keep you informed about everything snow related.
- WTOP breaks down the possibility of a new pocket park at Union Market.
