As D.C. continues to grow, balancing growth with sustainability isn't always easy. Here are three ways the city is working toward that goal.

As D.C. changes, its religious institutions change with it--or perish. These three churches are adapting to--and still serving--their neighborhoods, even as their neighborhoods morph into something new. 

With four production breweries in the District and many new brewpubs open or soon to open, it's fair to say that D.C. is experiencing a microbrewery megaboom. But rather than pit new brews against each other, success seems to lift all brews.

The District needs better shopping options. A new toolkit might help neighborhoods figure out exactly how to lure those retailers in. Here's a hint: start by coming together.

Studio. Atlas. The Howard. And more. Theaters, which lure a combination of commercial and artistic interests to struggling areas, may be just what a neighborhood needs. 

In the suburbs, where lunch usually means jumping in the car, a few corporations are inviting in food trucks (and more). Tasty options for employees and guaranteed sales for trucks? That's a delicious partnership.
