🥰 NOW WITH MORE SOUTHEAST LOVE!

If you haven’t noticed already, Congress Heights on the Rise has expanded the number of posts on our home page from 8 to 12! You can still access earlier blog posts by click the BLOG tab in the toolbar or the MORE POSTS button below the featured posts of the day.

Frankly, this expansion has been long overdue. There has been so much going on east of the river (events, jobs, programs, occasional tomfoolery, etc.) that I couldn’t cram it all in with just eight daily posts before the 12pm Daily Digest email.

Take for example, this Saturday, October 19th there are a TON of events taking place in Wards 7 and 8. To help you narrow down your options, I’m sharing my picks for the “best” events taking place on Saturday and where I would go if I could clone myself! 😂 Enjoy!

P.S. Reminder that the Southeast Love Shirt and Hoodie Fall Sale is going on now until October 23rd!

GO HERE TO PLACE YOUR ORDER!
