Two towns --- one man

Click here: Luxury Condos Arrive in Chinatown - New York Times

Yes Chinatown in NYNY is wondrous to behold. DC's is smaller, but very,very good.

The MCI Center has a wonderful story behind it.

After much discussion, Abe Pollin, decided to finance the arena himself. No public financing.

The MCI Center anchored the whole neighborhood.

It has flourished, and so has the team.

BTW: The three owners of the three major DC franchises are Jewish.

Abe and his wife Irene, are thoroughly decent people, with a flair for the philanthropic.

Ditto the Lerners.

Dan Snyder, who owns the fabled Redskins, maybe a little tetched in the head. The team (again) is doing poorly.
