Enter the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development’s (DMPED) relatively new blog — This is DC. The blog celebrates local creatives and entrepreneurs in the District through profiles on individuals like Monica Kang (of InnovatorsBox and DMV Startup) as well as organizations like Union Kitchen.

This is DC launched in March. The blog is also accepting new suggestions on local creators to feature — submit your D.C. story, or recommend another, via the website’s contact page.
