What to Expect for the Capitol Hill Area This Weekend
The H Street corridor Ben’s Chili Bowl has turned one year old this week, and it’s time to party.
The half-smoke purveyor at 1001 H St. NE is celebrating Saturday with games and a visit from the Nationals Natsmobile.
Also on Saturday, the Southeast Library is having a book sale and Pacers Running (300 Tingey St. SE) is hosting what it calls “The Great North American Naughtical Beer Mile.”
The thermometer is expected to reach the lower 90s Saturday under partly sunny skies, according to the National Weather Service. But storms might develop in the afternoon. No rain is in the forecast for Sunday, which likely will have a high temperature in the upper 80s.
