A dining staple inside D.C.'s Union Station is preparing to close.

B. Smith has served up southern-themed fare at Union Station for almost 20 years. The restaurant space sits on the east side of the station, which boasts the history of having been used by U.S. presidents and international dignitaries in the early and mid-1900s.
