Crime Stats Scandal Rocks MPD, All About That Obama Musical, and National Mall Food Might Get Good?!
Happy Friday. We’re talking about the fallout from the MPD’s scandal over manipulated crime data. We’re talking about the Obama musical that’s currently playing in town. And we’re talking about a change at the National Mall that DC can actually get behind. Plus, in a members-only fourth segment — which is actually free for everyone today, because it’s the LAST DAY of membership drive — we’ll talk about how and if the city can help local restaurants and retail survive the DMV’s grim economy.
