World Cup Bars, a New Criminal Code, and Best Thanksgiving Pies
DC Council this week agreed to overhaul the city’s ancient criminal code, but not everyone’s thrilled about it, including the mayor and police chief. Plus, we’re talking Thanksgiving plans, and where to watch the World Cup.
Our roundup relies on local journalism. Here’s what we pulled from this year:
- NBC Local’s piece about D.C.’s new criminal code
- DCist’s guide to World Cup viewing around town
- Hey DC’s list of Thanksgiving dinner spots
And if you’re traveling this Thanksgiving, check out our episodes about Union Station’s $10B facelift and traveling to Dulles via the Silver Line.
