There’s some interesting cuisine going on in our neighborhood. The folks behind People’s Bao, who sell Asian buns at local farmers markets and plan to start a food truck selling the same, have also opened a pop-up ramen shop.

Did you know that some famous authors lived around our neighborhood? I just heard about a really cool effort from DC writers Kim Roberts and Dan Vera, who spent more than 5 years tracking down where writers lived in and around DC. There’s 120 writers on their website, www.dcwriters.org, and you can sort it by…

I’ve been talking with some friends about going to check out a football game at our neighborhood high school, Cardozo at 13th and Clifton. (Banneker doesn’t have a team and Bell’s season is over.)
