I really appreciated reading the story about the community playground that was almost a gas station, but thanks to a few concerned citizens, it was saved. Oftentimes in the news, we always see coverage of โ€œimportantโ€ people or those with a title, but itโ€™s rare to see true community coverage. Thanks, Informer.

So awesome to learn about the Polar Bear Plunge in last weekโ€™s issue. Itโ€™s great to see the cool things happening in the District, especially regarding our environment. Iโ€™m adding it to my to-do list, as I would love to be part of the next one.
