Redeveloping Eden Center, D.C. Jail Controversy, And A New Commanders Bidder
The Eden Center, the Vietnamese mall in Northern Virginia, is about to see some changes and the local Vietnamese community is making its voice heard. Plus, there’s a new billionaire in the mix for owner of the Washington Commanders, and it’s someone with ties to the arts in DC. And Marjorie Taylor Greene is concerned about horrible living conditions at D.C. Jail. Why ever could that be?
As always, our Friday roundups rely on great local journalism:
- Hector Arzate’s piece about the Eden Center redevelopment
- The Hill’s article about Marjorie Green Taylor’s push to visit D.C. Jail to observe living conditions
- The Washington Post’s assessment of Mitchell Rales as a bidder for the Commanders
