And local coverage isn't just in the local section. I have a regular appointment on Friday mornings with Tom Sietsema's weekly Q&A about local restaurants in the Weekend section. 8K views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

I subscribe to the Washington Post because it provides excellent, essential coverage of my community. DC is very lucky to still have a great local newspaper. #WhyISubscribe 10.4K views · 49 likes · 4 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →
