Music Is Bulletproof

NYT: Capital Gains

The New York Times writes about the District in its Travel section & the first neighborhood it mentions is over here? Absolutely!

The H Street corridor is starting to hum, with cafes and bars including the Rock and Roll Hotel, a new music club that hosts bands like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Solillaquists of Sound.

That's about the only mention we get, except that the author also calls the corridor "newly trendy." Read the full article here. What a nice surprise on a Sunday Morning. Oh, and congrats to Rock & Roll Hotel (1353 H Street) for the mention.
