I went on the walking tour of Bloomingdale today, sponsored by CulturalTourismDC's Walking Town project, for two reasons--to see some of the Bloomingdale neighborhood, which I don't know much about, and because the tour was led by Marie Johns, one of the Democratic Party candidates for Mayor of DC.

The tour started at the intersection of 1st and U Streets NW, next to the You Street Market.

I checked out the Market's "beverage" department and I was surprised that they didn't have the 99 cent promotional cans of Arizona Iced Tea, although they did have plenty of Rock Creek Soda in 2 liter bottles (very sweet). They had Perrier Water, Beck's Beer, and three different flavors of Mad Dog 20/20.

Marie Johns said, with feeling, the right things about cultural heritage.
