On this magical evening once a year, participating stores on Wisconsin Avenue and M St. keep their doors open [...]
Happy Labor Day weekend to everyone! Yesterday evening I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting one of DC’s most historic neighborhoods, Capitol Hill, to attend a happy hour in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s 2012 Cycle for Life event. This year’s ride will be in Germantown on October 21st. Please click the link for [...]
