While there has been some good news impacting Pennsylvania Avenue SE East of the River (East End), such as the recent purchase of the Penn Branch Shopping Center, the remodeling of Thai Orchards Kitchen, and the announcement of a Ward 7 Member Advisory Council to address Ward 7 Economic Development, the future remains uncertain, and the success of any venture needs to be an informed, unified community effort.
