DC’s Capitol Lounge Burns Down

without comments

Those of you who’re familiar with the Capitol Lounge, a venerable DC watering hole and one of the few soccer-friendly bars in Washington, will be saddened to learn that two nights ago it burned down (a lit cigarette tossed into a trash can is the primary culprit). Photos here. (But hope spings eternal: everyone’s favorite vintage Marion Barry campaign sign survived the carnage.)
