To be fair Kith/kin is under a big glassy condo





or at least that’s what it seem when I went there. The decor in there is by far above most other black businesses in DC from my experience.


But yea getting replaced by a cac spot is what worries me





hopefully he comes back after quarantine

Thankfully, it seems like his business will survive

The two things that are killing these businesses in DC is the high lease costs and the fact that the city wont delay property taxes due dates despite the pandemic putting a shotgun to the face of the DC restaurant industry.

For Ben's, it's the property taxes.
