RIP Abe Pollin, a true DC legend

[Lanky Livingston]

Abe Pollin has passed away at the age of 85. One of the true DC legends, and largely responsible for the way downtown looks today. He will be missed.

RIP Abe. And yes, he lead the way to cleaning up Chinatown and Northwest, among other things

beyond the sports franchise ownership, he was a pillar as a DC community visionary and philanthropist. who will step up now and fill the void?
