Halloween is upon us, but I get the sense our area isn’t really in the spirit — I have yet to see a good display around. In contrast, a friend posted this awesome display up in Brightwood Park: tombstones for the the Nats’ season 🙁 , Humpty Dumpty, the President of the Virgin Islands and…

Neighborhood mainstay Fish in the Hood on Georgia Avenue caught fire in April, and they’re still working to rebuild afterwards.

You still need to clean the food out, though. The idea is to help more trash avoid landfills and to…
