Delayed Shelter Opening, Giving Tuesday, and New Underrated Restaurants
A group of anonymous property and business owners are trying to block a homeless shelter in the West End, and they’ve already delayed the opening once. The gang is chatting about that, plus what Giving Tuesday, coming up next week, means for DC. Plus, y’all had a lot to say about our underrated restaurants episode, and we took a deep dive into some of your suggestions.
As always, our roundups are powered by all the great local reporting going on:
- Michael Brice-Saddler has all the details for the proposed West End Shelter.
- Check out Spur Local if you want to give locally this Giving Tuesday.
- And don’t forget to listen to our episode all about underrated restaurants!
