This section features stories and information about the history and culture of our city. Many feature the Penn Quarter area, where I live. Some cover historical topics where Washington, DC figures into the story at some points. I am fascinated by the Penn Quarter’s colorful history and remarkable transformation. Some of these stories were previously printed in a newsletter I edited for my downtown condominium association, so reflect conditions at the time. More stories will be added periodically. Readers are invited to make submissions for publication on this site.
