[Lincolnparkdc] "Mini marathons" are good for kids

[Marchë Maine]

It does seem more like a free opportunity for realtors to showcase and take
advantage of the aggressive gentrification happening.

The wide open spaces and activities at the RFK playing fields and the
opportunity to pronote the burgeoning businesses by the prison would have
in my opinion been a better choice.
