Washington Post Spotlight on “Mama Tutu” Belay

I have the pleasure of serving on the board of Shaw Main Streets with Tutu Belay, owner of Little Ethiopia Restaurant (1924 Ninth Street, NW) and the Ethiopian Yellow Pages.  In addition to being a truly lovely person, she is also a keen business woman.  Check out this great article from the Washington Post about her accomplishments.

Congrats, Tutu!

Rolling Stone Likes Shaw

Thanks to a reader tip for pointing out that Rolling Stone's just-released annual "hot list" names Logan/Shaw as a "hot hood." Says the tipster: "There's a little map with places like Cork, Bohemian Caverns, Ben's Chili Bowl, HR-57... highlighted as where Obama White House staffers like to hang out."

Cool!

Second, the finalization of the deal to bring Radio One back to DC, specifically to the beautiful new mixed use development soon to break ground on 7th Street, was announced yesterday. Read about it here.
