City Cast DC with Michael Schaffer
🍳 Last-minute mothers day brunch spots
May 8, 2024 · 💌 Kaela
Hey, neighbor! A Washingtonian (with slightly too much time on their hands?) made a master spreadsheet of every single D.C. area outdoor movie screening so you can see what's playing where and when.
What's CITY Talking About?
Shadow Senator Prospect’s Shady Past
Shadow senator prospect and D.C.’s former top federal lobbyist Eugene Kinlow is being questioned for creating a “toxic” and “fraternity” like culture in the office. His former employees also say Kinlow was MIA (cough, cough, on vacation in Miami) during one very important meeting and his behavior led to an HR investigation. This looks particularly bad as one of Kinlow’s main campaign platforms is his experience working for the mayor. [Washington City Paper]

Pride Concert Lineup Announced
Pride month is right around the corner, and Capital Pride has announced the 2024 concert line-up! American singer/songwriter Ava Max and Tony Award-winner Billy Porter are headlining, with special guests Exposé, Keke Palmer, and others. True Jackson, VP stans stand up! [WUSA9]
The Ghost of Foxtrot’s Past
Foxtrot may be gone, but the waves from their abrupt closure last month are not. Three local landlords are suing the bougie-bodega company, alleging it owed them over $100,000 in back rent prior to closing. It’s not all bad though. Food Rescue US-DC rescued over 3,000 pounds of food that was left at the Dupont Foxtrot and has delivered it to local food banks. [Washington Business Journal, Axios]
- Related: All ten of Foxtrot’s D.C. locations shut down last month, resulting in mass layoffs. [City Cast DC 🎧]
