Rising Crime, Reeves Center Facelift, and D.C.'s Weird Sports Culture
It’s another week where crime stories are in the headlines. Dan Reed from Greater Greater Washington joins us to talk about why this is happening and what it means for how the city operates. Plus, the Reeves Center is getting a facelift, and how do we define D.C.’s sports culture?
As always, our news roundups are powered by some awesome local journalism:
- Katie Mettler and Justin George from the Washington Post were all over the Potomac Avenue Metro Station shooting.
- Tristan Navera of Washington Business Journal explains what’s going on at the Reeves Center.
