Dan Snyder Picks A Buyer. Plus, Buses, Cannabis, and Georgetown Transformers
After months of hand wringing, Dan Snyder has picked a buyer for the Washington Commanders! Audio Producer Julia Karron is here to celebrate but also caution us all against getting TOO excited yet. Then, we’ve got City Cast contributor Dan Reed and WAMU reporter Martin Austermuhle here to talk new Metro bus routes, legal cannabis rules in Maryland, and a very strange dispute over Transformer statues — yes, those Transformers — in Georgetown.
Our roundups wouldn’t be possible without all the local reporting that happens:
- Axios’s Cuneyt Dil broke the Snyder news to us. *Cue cheers all around.*
- Jordan Pascale of WAMU is on it for the Metro Bus updates.
- Cheyenne Corin from WTOP gives us all the new Md weed rules.
- Martin Austermuhle of WAMU explains what’s going on with these transformer statues in Georgetown.
