Joe Bar presents the work Rodrigo Valenzuela (Image: Rodrigo Valenzuela)
We took a little break from the Capitol Hill On the List fun — but we’re back. It’s a fair amount of work but totally worth it, right? The only real question is whether to run it on Thursdays or Fridays. Add your Capitol Hill area events to the CHS Calendar. Events only, please. Offers, etc. will be removed (and we will verbally scold you by talking to ourselves in an animated fashion).
