Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Elaina Plott
A crew works on water infrastructure near the intersection of 21st and K streets in 2012.
Last month, a water main breaks at Metro Center closed three train lines during morning rush hour. In Alexandria, a series of ruptured water pipes have shut down major thoroughfares. And in the District, a mysterious fuel leak contaminated drinking water for 350 households in the Shaw neighborhood. We get a report card on the region’s aging infrastructure.
