Hello readers! It’s a short week here at City Paper, thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday, so your copy of the magazine has hit boxes a day early. In this week’s issue:
- On the cover, Darrow Montgomery and Lydia DePillis collaborate on photos and words and explore all the nasty beauty of the Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant.
- Loose Lips’ column is about California Republican Darrell Issa and his strangely friendly feelings about District home rule.
- Chris Shott reviews Pearl Dive Oyster Palace for Young & Hungry.
- Over at Cheap Seats, Dave McKenna profiles new District of Columbia Public Schools athletic director—-first lady in that role!—-Stephanie Evans.
- And yours truly gets some ink on her fingers with a print-edition argument for why Anacostia: The Web Series is utterly brilliant.
Plus, much more. You know what to do.
