Behind Closed Doors: How D.C. Lost The Caps and Wizards

The plan to move D.C.’s hockey and basketball teams to Virginia is one of the biggest stories of the year — one that’s potentially devastating to downtown D.C., and one that has led to all kinds of recriminations in local politics. The Washington Post has published a big, behind-the-scenes look at how the decision went down. Reporter Sam Fortier is here to tell us about it. Plus, after the interview, City Cast CEO David Plotz joins us for a conversation sponsored by Urban Pace, the mid-Atlantic leader in development real estate services, about the new Ebenezer Row homes in Capitol Hill. Click through to learn more about how the development is building upon the neighborhood’s rich history. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
