I’m going to be in Washington D.C. with a team of MBAs for a real estate case competition this weekend. I have some free time both Friday and Sunday and would like to delve into the greener side of D.C. Any ideas? I’m up for anything.

That’s great- I wish my school had been built with strawbale and not asbestos! 🙂
DO NOT contact Monte Stettin… terrible, disreputable builder. Schlock-meister.
