City Paper Cover Story--2 great stories in two weeks

Who knows if my continued grousing to Washington City Paper reporters about the relevance of their stories, as well as the unequal comparison to better papers like Philadelphia Weekly, Baltimore City Paper, and Philadelphia City Paper has had any effect. I do know that last week's cover story on Daniel Hudson and Ballou High School, and today's cover story on the difficulties of change in emerging urban commercial districts, are both pretty good. (I do plan to write a response to the latter story.)
