#Weekend

Awesome events: Ok so the weather this weekend is a good reason to cry, but then you’ll just be adding to the water volume in this city and we can’t handle all that. It’s cool, there’s always Netflix; Be humble. Kendrick Lamar will be at Jiffy Lube tonight; The Caps are comin home! Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals takes place in DC Saturday – tickets will cost you about a month’s worth of rent so hit the bars instead; Take dance lessons at the Wharf because why not?; Jackson 20 and Port City Brewing are partnering every Sunday in June to bring you Pride Patio in Old Town Alexandria

ROUND UP PRESENTED BY
Wells Fargo
Growing African-American homeownership is a crucial element in restoring the American Dream to communities of color, as African-American homeownership rates remain low. Wells Fargo committed to creating at least 250,000 African-American homeowners by 2027 by dedicating $60 billion for home purchase loans and $15 million for homebuyer education and counseling. We helped more than 23,000 African Americans become new homeowners in 2017 alone.
