District Night!

Last night, we headed to WDG Architecture on Connecticut Avenue for their first annual District Night. We snapped WDG managing principal Sean Stadler with his colleague Frances Downey and COPT's Tom Kelley. The evening centered around a tasting event that highlighted local DC distilleries, breweries, cideries and food.
