D.C.’s Turkey Whisperer

For some reason, we all just take it for granted that every Thanksgiving, the White House pardons a turkey. Have you ever stopped to think about how the turkeys are chosen? Where they come from? Where they stay in D.C., and where they go afterwards? We found out for you, and learned more about turkey personalities than we ever thought possible. Also, big news, our first-ever live taping is one week away. Come hang with us as we record our weekly news roundup, at Union Market’s Politics & Prose, on Nov. 30. More details here.  With the holidays around the corner, I bet you’re looking for suggestions on how and where to shop local. Sign up for our sister newsletter Hey DC for all the inside info. We’re also on Twitter! Follow us at @citycast_dc. And we’re collecting New Year’s resolutions for D.C. Leave us a voicemail by calling 2026422654, and mention your name and your hopes and goals for the city in the new year.
