How Walmart Abandoned H Street
The Walmart on H Street Corridor closes for good tomorrow, and it’s pissed off city officials more than you’d expect.

Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak is here to explain the whole sordid story.
Check out Petula’s spicy column on this. Plus, here’s Clockout DC’s list of public restrooms in D.C. And sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC to get more content like this first.
