Pinto seems like she has some ethics issues...
So I think 10 years ago some ilxers went to a not open yet U street music hall and now 10 years later it is closing down due to Covid and landlord issues. Discussed a bit over on the Ilm Capital Swamp thread

His voice is so calming. I would listen to him read cereal ingredients.

I hope it's just a case of trying to temporarily fill seats after a tough year and not an indication of what their programming is going to be now.
― Chris L, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 22:24 (three years ago) link
They do have AFI DOCS coming in June, and when I see the programmers I will ask them about rescheduling The Lincoln Cycle and the early Fox films. But the Regal barely a block away will also have these titles--even allowing for buzz and pent-up demand, are audiences likely to go to AFI to see these?
― Infanta Terrible (j.lu), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 22:34 (three years ago) link
They also announced a stricter no food/beverage policy than Regal, so I don’t know.

I miss AFI so much

Sadly they might be, and dc government has already been using it on hanging cloth banners and signs for awhile.

And they’ve introduced “The Yard”, presumably in celebration of Jame Gray, as well as SoNYa because NoMa was too broad

Gonna celebrate my 20 year anniversary of living here in august. i fall deeper and deeper in love with this place every year, although i think i'm to the point where the western quadrants are the least interesting. i officially live in PG so NW is kind of a haul, but my old hood in the columbia heights/u street area is pretty awful now. i really like the open air skating rink in anacostia and all the trails. great place to raise kids
