America’s Mayors Should Take Marion Barry as a Model. Seriously.

Pizza Boli is straight around here. Them Eritreans be cooking shit up....

Armand's used to be my spot on Wisconsin Ave close to old Broadcast House 9, there's still one in VA but it don't come close to true Armand's. I'm only writing this cuz you mentioned Ledos which if one is unfamiliar can give 2 totally different experiences (Ledos in Laurel and College Park) are horrible but the joint in VA close to the Strathmore is The Shit (I think they have a copyright issue ongoing or at least they did. If the Ledos doesn't have an apostrophe I wouldn't eat there).

Also in College Park, Pizza Kingdom is The Shit. Fake assed Maryland jumbo slice that's pricey but better than driving all the way to mt pleasant.

Armand’s is still up and running in Rockville. I go there if ever a deep dish mood strikes. Their thin slices are great too.

We actually knew the former owners of the Original Ledos in College Park before they sold it off to the current owners. Used to cater any family event we had, free of charge. Great people and great food.

The franchise chains all over the place stemmed from that spot but couldn’t settle on trademarks, so they ended up adding the apostrophe.

I’m not too crazy about the jumbo slices. They’re big in size sure, but they don’t taste like anything special.

I didn't follow at the end-- Driving to Mt Pleasant for what?

I’m assuming he was referring to Martha Dear. Personally I’ll drive anywhere in the DMV for a good slice.

I'm gonna try that one day but the prices are outrageous. I don't feel like it could possibly be worth it. $25 menu price for a 12 inch pizza, meanwhile Angelico's is two blocks away selling extra large supreme pizzas for $32 with tax included.

So I've never tried it! I will one day to see what the hype is about but I'm braced for disappointment.

Wow, they put that quote on the cover?!?

The former D.C. mayor’s pioneering efforts to provide jobs, affordable housing, and food security deserve to be remembered long after the jokes about his drug use have grown stale.

All these politicians are greedy idiots that use the same playbooks over and over. I could fix states and city budgets over night lol; and create a state heaven lol…

They’re def worth a try. Might not be an everyday ordeal but I prefer quality over quantity. I’ll pay the extra for the good stuff everytime.

To cop a jumbo slice

So you don’t mean from Martha Dear. Where???

 

[SPECTRE1]

He would be rolling in his grave if he saw what cities have become with black mayors. I am biting my tongue just focusing on escaping this horror/nightmare.

He died under suspicious circumstances.

Real Kniggas should NEVER EVER forget Mayor Barrys ordeal,

It confirmed how they WEAPONIZED our WOMEN against us...

Mayor Barry didn't even want the rock, he wanted some coochie

from that fine ass model, I think her name was rasheeda more or some

shit like that... but she was a honey pot working for the feds... and they used her to take

a bruh down,

they got many more of these honey pots especially in the rap game today... but chea..

Mayor Barry should also be remembered for how the people stood up and said, NO we are NOT going

to let you control OUR THINKING, by setting up THE MAN WE WANT AS MAYOR...

and voted him back IN OFFICE that was some dope shit and made the FEDS and THEIR PUPPETEERS LOOK

STUPID AND WEAK AS FUCK and proved we are AWAKENING as a people!!!

LONG LIVE UNITY AMONGST THE RIGHTEOUS!!!

Only those in the District will appreciate that sentiment. Everyone else just wants to believe he was a crackhead.

Yeah I was completely ignorant to the all the positive things in his legacy and was only aware of the salacious tabloid shit in his later years...

I never did the knowledge until a few years ago listening to Don Peebles sing his praises in some interviews and writing about him in "The Peebles Principles". The Good brotha had an activist background and was: a visionary, a changemaker and a pro black and pragmatic leader. I'm interested in reading an accurate biography about him.

 

[Tdot_firestarta]

I watched the documentary about him and how he changed things for blacks in D.C and was loved no matter his blunders.

He was really for the people,made sure more blacks were hired than anyone in officer before him.

RIP to Marion Barry

Good looking out, gonna check this Doc when I get the chance
