Our View: Foggy Bottom residents would do better to constructively engage GW on issues of expansion rather than initiating frivolous complaints. In an ongoing exercise in frivolity, Foggy Bottom residents and their neighborhood institutions successfully lobbied the city to order food vendors in Ivory Tower to stop serving non-students. While the building’s residential zoning designation […]
