Y’all, this is just so sad. Ben Ali, feeder of the hungry DC masses, has died at age 82. I don’t have a lot to add to that, so I’ll just provide some Ali-related reading material from around the Internets:
We’re sorry to see such a pillar of the DC Community pass on, and our thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with the Ali family today.
Tiffany Baxendell Bridge is an Internet enthusiast and an incurable smartass. When not heckling the neighborhood political scene on Twitter, she can be found goofing off with her ukulele, Bollywood dancing, or obsessing about cult TV. She is That Woman With the Baby In the Bar.
Tiffany lives in Brookland with her husband Tom, son Charlie, and two high-maintenance cats. Read why Tiffany loves DC.
I’ll be sure to lift a half-smoke in his honor this weekend. Ben Ali was a saint.
This is really a sad day. My thoughts and prayers are with the Ali family. They have done so much for this city, U Street, and beyond.
THIS IS TRULY SAD HE LIVED A GOOD LIFE!!!!
FAVORITE SPOT GROWING UP AS A CHILD MANY MEMORIES MAKES ME SMILE….
MY BLESSINGS GO TO THE FAMILY!!!!!!!!
