(Afro) — The District of Columbia is a town known for being front and center when it comes to a good front page story. And to outsiders not accustomed to what it’s really like to live and work in the nation’s capital, things in this cosmopolitan enclave can be downright confusing and even comical, as evidenced by some of the goings-on that played out in the local headlines this year. It all began in January, just as President Barrack Obama was rounding out his first year at the helm. The city was still trying to figure out how to deal with a slate of issues carried over from 2009 and among them were the gay marriage bill, medical marijuana, the highly anticipated mayoral race and efforts to stabilize the burgeoning unemployment rate.
