Mayor Muriel Bowser, At-Large Councilmember Robert White, Ward 4 Councilmember Brandon Todd, and Acting Director of DC’s Department of Small and Local Business Development Kristi Whitfield all came out yesterday to cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening of Culture Coffee Too at 300 Riggs Road NE. I had the honor of giving remarks on behalf of the Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association. The coffee shop is a beautiful space, airy, and full of natural light.  There will be evening art and music events the entire week, including an artist reception on Friday with featured artist Greta Chapin-McGill. [Update: The shop will be open for special events this week while awaiting final inspection on Thursday.]
