Description

The Eden Center, the Vietnamese mall in Northern Virginia, is about to see some changes and the local Vietnamese community is making its voice heard. Plus, there’s a new billionaire in the mix for owner of the Washington Commanders, and it’s someone with ties to the arts in DC. And Marjorie Taylor Greene is concerned about horrible living conditions at D.C. Jail. Why ever could that be?

As always, our Friday roundups rely on great local journalism: 

Hector Arzate’s piece about the Eden Center redevelopment


The Hill’s article about Marjorie Green Taylor’s push to visit D.C. Jail to observe living conditions

The Washington Post’s assessment of Mitchell Rales as a bidder for the Commanders

City Cast is the daily, local audio companion you knew DC needed. Washingtonians are gritty, proud, and resilient — necessary qualities for a community facing issues that range from an affordability crisis to the fight for statehood to the movement for racial justice… and useful qualities for a region full of whip-smart people, dynamic culture, and constant change. Washingtonians are deeply passionate about our city, whose story is still being written, and City Cast DC is here to tell it. Every weekday morning, our hosts Michael Schaffer and Bridget Todd will engage people from all over the eight wards in conversation about DC’s crises and its beauty, both literal and figurative. It’ll have the feel of eavesdropping on an energetic and informative coffee shop chat, except that with City Cast DC, consider this your official invitation to listen in.
