Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
When it comes to new structures in our region, and what they should look like, everyone has an opinion. The D.C. Zoning commission has set new limits on how tall a “pop-up” row house can be. In Northwest D.C. and Montgomery County, neighbors are fuming as they watch home after home replaced with luxury “McMansions.” We consider whether the region can update its row-house aesthetic, without sacrificing character.
