Indie Bookstores: Busboys and Poets
Since I moved into my current house off of Kennedy street in Northwest last summer, Busboys and Poets, located just down 14th Street in the vibrant U Street corridor, has become an increasingly frequented spot. The bookstore/bar/restaurant is a cultural bastion for the bookishly inclined across the usually stark cultural divide in Washington, and the prevalent African American themes create a unique flavor not found at Kramers or Politics and Prose.

Comment Rules: We like to think that THEthe has both the critical edge of a good journal and the informal, discursive nature of a blog. Readers and their comments are a valuable part of this blog, and we heartily encourage comments that spur debate, provoke self-examination, or attempt to expand upon the ideas from the posts themselves.
We all have the responsibility to love our neighbors (even our online ones). Disagreements, even serious ones, should be carried forth with grace and humility. We have no tolerance for hateful, nasty diatribes and will probably delete them (especially if it is obvious that you spent a long time writing it).
