AdMo Housing Debate, Unsavory School Names, and Friday the 13th

The team chats about the latest twist in a goofy Adams Morgan development saga — and why it oughta matter to you even if you never hang out at the late, unlamented SunTrust Plaza. Plus, we’ve got some thoughts on school renamings and suggestions for how to get in a haunted mood this Friday the 13th. As always, our Friday episode is fueled by great local journalism:  Read up on the AdMo Plaza update, from this Washington Post report. And get caught up on the long saga, with our episode featuring Martin Austermuhle.  WTOP covered the Woodson High School renaming. They’ll be making a final decision on Nov. 9.  Hear the episode we mentioned, about how D.C. renamed Good Hope Road as Marion Barry Ave, and whether it should have.  As promised, here’s the Markoff’s Haunted Forest episode, including incredible behind-the-scenes details of how they produce the thing and ending with our own journey through the trail. We’ve got lots of spooky fall suggestions in this article, by Kaela. Sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC so you don’t miss out on future event ideas. Interested in advertising with City Cast?
