Exciting news! @JacobFenston is embarking on the ultimate DC Parks Quest. He's going to bike, Metro, walk, and when necessary, even kayak (!), to all 683 parks in the District and document the journey on our podcast and newsletter. Follow along: dc.citycast.fm/dc-parks-quest…- It’s a rough day to be in local journalism. DCist’s reporting has inspired us, fueled our podcast, and helped shape our city. Between rising crime, upcoming elections, and a dying downtown, Washingtonians need nuanced, local reporting now more than ever. This loss is devastating.
