Howard University Senior George Kilpatrick, III showed his vocal range at Jazz Central
Maybe one of our most under appreciated venues is Jazz Central on Washington Street. Thankfully, during the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival the stage comes alive with improvisation and the soundscape of creativity. The student performances are some of the best.

ECG Promotions even staged a fashion show at DestiNY’s Canyon tonight.
Let’s play a big time school every weekend…or find a way to move the mall closer to campus. Wait, isn’t this another reason to re-start OnTrack service?

The cozy spot on the edge of downtown maybe one of the best kept gastronomic secrets along the Connective Corridor. If you are planning a foodie tour of center city, this place would be a great place to kick it off.
