Leave out the fact that the Nationals are currently leading the National League Wild Card race (yes, it’s early, but still, little victories down by the Navy Yard are always worth heralding): this hasn’t been a fantastic year for DC sports.

Moby Dick’s House of Kabob is tasty. Nom falafel. Nom Kebob-E Kubideh. Just Nom. Too bad their small, cramped Georgetown location at 1070 31th NW does not particularly invite sit down enjoyment of Moby’s tasty Mid-eastern fare.
Then comes word and construction permits that Moby’s is expanding the Georgetown location into the adjacent, [...]
