The new condos being built at the corner of 41st & Chesapeake St. have been under construction for a few years, in an on-again, off-again way.
2 1/2 years ago the building had a partial collapse.
Now work is quiet and the unfinished building has open windows, exposing the interior to the elements.

A New Jersey Mike’s opened this week, across the street from the National Zoo’s main entrance.
Their timing is rough, given that the Zoo is closed because of the federal government’s shutdown.
