National Guard Intervention? Plus, Beyonce Concert Blunders, and Restaurant Vacations

Listen Later

This week, a Councilmember called for the National Guard to help curb D.C. crime, Beyonce fans came up against the famously terrible FedEx Field, and a bunch of DC restaurants announced they’re taking summer breaks. The team wraps it all up with Washingtonian’s food editor Jessica Sidman. 


As always, our Friday roundup is fueled by great local journalism: 

  • Fox5 lays out Trayon White’s call for the National Guard and how the city’s responded
  • WTOP covers the fallout of the Beyonce concert at FedEx Field
  • Check out Jessica’s piece to see if your fave restaurant is taking a summer break
