Change on the Verizon – The Wash. Times
A good article about how the Verizon (nee MCI) Center got built and what it meant for its neighborhood and the District. Hopefully, the ballpark will bring similar success near SE.

Left unsaid is what the Verizon Center has meant to its tenants. It has certainly been good for the Wizards, but less so for the Capitals.

Speaking of the Capitals, they scored a touchdown and extra point last night in Toronto, beating the Maple Leafs 7-1. They chased the Leafs goalie in the first period and five players scored their first goals of the season. Alex Ovechkin had two goals.

The Wizards begin their season tomorrow night and have their home opener on Saturday.
