Spotted on NBC4:
The D.C. institution Ben’s Chili Bowl unveiled a new mural on Wednesday, showcasing 15 African-American legends of music, politics and media.
A huge cast of D.C. luminaries spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, including Dave Chappelle, Dick Gregory, Mayor Muriel Bowser, News4’s own Jim Vance, Chuck Brown’s daughter, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton and Cora Masters Barry.
The mural featuring many D.C. legends depicts Dick Gregory, Dave Chappelle, Marion Barry, Jim Vance, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Wale, Russ Parr, Taraji P. Henson, Donnie Simpson, Roberta Flack, Prince, Chuck Brown, Muhammad Ali, Harriet Tubman, Michelle Obama and Barack Obama.
The mural’s new subjects were decided by 30,000 people who cast their vote last winter. The previous mural featured President Barack Obama, Donnie Simpson, Chuck Brown and Bill Cosby. Of those four, only Bill Cosby was not included in new mural.
We (attempt to) give you a detailed view of D.C.’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in 15 minutes. Needless to say, it’s impossible to see everything the first time around.

A few weeks ago, I stopped by Bureau’s Preview Party. The new DC Skate shop lives in the second-floor U Street location formerly occupied by Art Under Pressure (now closed.) Bureau was founded by a group of local skaters and artists (including Might Healthy’s Jeremy Murray.) The compact space has been stripped down to a simpler setup with wooden shelves and wall displays. Filled with decks, shoes, clothes, backpacks and other hard goods, Bureau is the ideal spot for someone looking for some cool streetwear or a new setup. Popular brands like Palace, Huf, Dickies and Krooked share space with local favorites like Carpet Company. In the first month since they opened, they’ve dropped an exclusive crew video with Transworld Skateboarding and done a scavenger hunt with eS and Kelly Hart. Definitely keep an eye out for whatever is next from Bureau (@DCBureau on Instagram.) You can check them out on 1342 U Street NW, DC. I’ve included some photos of the shop below. – JL

The images are available for download at www.seasonzine.com.

K.E. on the Track has a new single coming soon featuring Shy Glizzy and Goo Glizzy/Marley. Although K.E. has a questionable reputation, this is still a big move for both Glizzy Gang, especially Goo. Congrats to Marley on the birth of his child by the way.
