Most Popular DC Baby Names, Malcolm X Park's $16 Million Glow-Up, and Why DJs Love DC Now
We’re talking about the politics of crime in DC — and other intel we picked up from our big election poll. We’re talking about who deserves credit for restoring those gorgeous Malcolm X Park fountains. And we’re going to get into DC’s booming EDM scene. Plus, in a members-only fourth segment, Metro’s boss wants to take on bus fare evasion in a new way, and not everyone who works for him is happy about it.
