Tim Carman says goodbye from the City Paper as he moves to the Washington Post.  Carman's farewell piece tracks what's happened in Washington during his five years as host to the Young and Hungry column.  Carman highlights the developments on H Street noting "No strip has changed as much as this patch of Northeast. . . . These (and others yet to come) are turning the street into a dining destination. Imagine what the area will be like once the city completes that goddamn streetcar project."
