Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The District’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is poised to lift its 27-year moratorium on new liquor licenses in Georgetown, which locals say is to blame for the slow growth of the area’s restaurant scene compared to Shaw or the 14 St. NW corridor. Kojo explores what may change for Georgetown if the moratorium is lifted and how liquor licenses shape the development of the city’s restaurant scene.
