Ghost Gallery celebrates a birthday
While many may be mourning the false start to summer we experienced last weekend, there’s plenty to do in the next few days. This weekend features CHEW‘s happy hour, a new “film in the making” at The Project Room, Ghost Gallery‘s 2nd Anniversary, and something called Dumpling Day. Who needs canoeing and sunbathing anyway? Add your Capitol Hill events to the CHS Calendar.
